Psalm 144 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.

A Psalm of David.

144 Blessed be the Lord, ^(A)my rock,
Who ^(B)trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle;
²My faithfulness and ^(C)my fortress,
My ^(D)stronghold and my savior,
My ^(E)shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who ^(F)subdues ^[a]my people under me.
³Lord, ^(G)what is man, that You look after him?
Or a son of man, that You think of him?
⁴^(H)Man is like the breath;
His ^(I)days are like a passing shadow.

⁵^(J)Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and ^(K)come down;
^(L)Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
⁶Flash forth ^(M)lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your ^(N)arrows and confuse them.
⁷Reach out with Your hand ^(O)from on high;
Rescue me and ^(P)save me from great waters,
From the hand of ^(Q)foreigners
⁸Whose mouths ^(R)speak deceit,
And whose ^(S)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹God, I will sing a ^(T)new song to You;
On a ^(U)harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
¹⁰Who ^(V)gives salvation to kings,
Who ^(W)rescues His servant David from the evil sword.
¹¹Rescue me and save me from the hand of ^(X)foreigners,
Whose mouth ^(Y)speaks deceit
And whose ^(Z)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

¹²When our sons in their youth are like ^(AA)growing plants,
And our daughters like ^(AB)corner pillars ^[b]fashioned for a palace,
¹³Our ^(AC)granaries are full, providing every kind of produce,
And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our ^[c]fields;
¹⁴May our ^(AD)cattle ^[d]be bred
Without ^[e]^(AE)mishap and without ^[f]^(AF)loss,
May there be no ^(AG)outcry in our streets!
¹⁵Blessed are the people who are so situated;
^(AH)Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
