Psalm 144

Prayer for National Deliverance and Security

Of David.
¹ Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
   who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
² my rock^* and my fortress,
   my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
   who subdues the peoples^* under me.

³ O Lord, what are human beings that you regard them,
   or mortals that you think of them?
⁴ They are like a breath;
   their days are like a passing shadow.
