Psalms 144:1

A Song to the Lord Who Preserves and Prospers His People

A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
^aWho trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—

2 My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues¹ my people under me.

3 ^aLord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?

4 ^aMan is like a breath;
^bHis days are like a passing shadow.

5 ^aBow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
^bTouch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6 ^aFlash forth lightning and scatter them;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
