Psalms 144
144
Rescue Me
King David’s poetic song as he stood before Goliath # 144 As translated from the Septuagint. Put yourself in David’s place as he faced a giant named Goliath. Imagine how he felt as you read through this psalm.
1There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me;
it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle.
2He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith,
who wraps himself around me as a secure shield.
I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me.
3Lord, what is it about us that you would even notice us?
Why do you even bother with us?
4For man is nothing but a faint whisper, a mere breath.
We spend our days like nothing more than a passing shadow.
5Step down from heaven, Lord, and come down!
Make the mountains melt at your touch.
6Loose your fiery lightning flashes and scatter your enemies.
Overthrow them with your terrifying judgments.
7Reach down from your heavens
and rescue me from this hell
and deliver me from these dark powers.
8They speak nothing but lies; their words are pure deceit.
Nothing they say can ever be trusted.
9My God, I will sing you a brand-new song!
The harp inside my heart will make music to you!
10I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings—
the one who rescues David, your loving servant,
from the fatal sword.
11Deliver me and save me from these dark powers
who speak nothing but lies.
Their words are pure deceit,
and you can’t trust anything they say.
12Deliver us! Then our homes will be happy.
Our sons will grow up as strong, sturdy men
and our daughters with graceful beauty,
royally fashioned as for a palace.
13-14Our barns will be filled to the brim,
overflowing with the fruits of our harvest.
Our fields will be full of sheep and cattle,
too many to count,
and our livestock will not miscarry their young.
Our enemies will not invade our land,
and there’ll be no breach in our walls.
15What bliss we experience when these blessings fall!
The people who love and serve our God will be happy indeed!

Rescue from Battle
1Of David. Blessed be Adonai my Rock— who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2He is my lovingkindness, my fortress, my strong tower, and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
3Adonai, what is man, that You take note of him? Or the son of man, that You consider him?
4Man is like a breath— his days are like a passing shadow.
5Adonai, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, so they smoke.
6Flash forth lightning and scatter them. Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
7Stretch forth Your hands from on high. Snatch me, deliver me out of deep waters, out of the hand of foreigners,
8whose mouth speaks falsehood, whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
9God, I sing a new song to You, on a ten-string harp I sing praises to You—
10who gives salvation to kings, who rescues Your servant David from the evil sword.
11Snatch me, deliver me out of the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks falsehood, whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved for the construction of a palace.
13Our storehouses are full, supplying every kind of produce. Our flocks increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14Our oxen bear a heavy load. There is no breach, no going into captivity, no outcry in our streets.
15Happy are such a people! Blessed are the people whose God is Adonai!
