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!

A song of David.
1Praise the Lord!
He is my Rock.
He prepares me for war.
He trains me for battle.
2He loves me and protects me.
He is my safe place high on the mountain.
He rescues me.
He is my shield.
I trust in him.
He helps me rule my people.
3Lord, why are people important to you?
Why do you even notice us?
4Our life is like a puff of air.
It is like a passing shadow.
5Lord, tear open the skies and come down.
Touch the mountains, and smoke will rise from them.
6Send the lightning and make my enemies run away.
Shoot your “arrows” and make them run away.
7Reach down from heaven and save me!
Don’t let me drown in this sea of enemies.
Save me from these foreigners.
8They are all liars,
even when they swear to tell the truth.
9God, I will sing a new song#144:9 new song Whenever God did a new and wonderful thing for his people, they would write a new song about it. for you.
I will play a ten-stringed harp and sing praise to you.
10You are the one who gives victory to kings.
You saved your servant David from the sword of his enemy.
11Save me from these foreigners.
They are all liars,
even when they swear to tell the truth.
12May our sons be as strong as trees
and our daughters as beautiful as the carved columns of a palace.
13May our barns be filled
with crops of all kinds.
May our sheep produce so many lambs,
that thousands of sheep will fill our fields.
14And may our cows be heavy with calves.
May no enemy break through our walls
or carry away any of our people.
May there be no cries of pain in our streets.
15How wonderful to have such blessings!
Yes, great blessings belong to those who have the Lord as their God.
