Psalms 144:1-7

1 <A Psalm. Of David.> Praise be to the God of my strength, teaching my hands the use of the sword, and my fingers the art of fighting:

1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

2 He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.

2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

3 Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?

3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?

4 Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

5 Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6 With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.

6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.

7 Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;

7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners
