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!

PSALM 144
Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.
A Psalm of David.
1Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,
Who trains my hands for war
And my fingers for battle;
2My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my rescuer,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.
3Lord, what is man that You take notice of him?
Or the son of man that You think of him?
4Man is like a mere breath;
His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6Flash lightning and scatter my enemies;
Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them.
7Stretch out Your hand from above;
Set me free and rescue me from great waters,
Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us]
8Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint],
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9I will sing a new song to You, O God;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10Who gives salvation to kings,
Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.
11Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint],
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,
And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;
13Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce,
And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14Let our cattle bear
Without mishap and without loss,
And let there be no outcry in our streets!
15How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the Lord!
