Psalms 144:1-7

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Give praise to the Lord. He is my rock. He trains my hands for war. He trains my fingers for battle.

2 He is my loving God. He is like a fort to me. He is my place of safety and the One who saves me. He is like a shield that keeps me safe. I go to him for safety. He brings nations under my control.

3 Lord, what is a human being that you take care of him? What is a son of man that you think about him?

4 His life doesn't last any longer than a breath. His days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

5 Lord, open up your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.

6 Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies. Shoot your arrows and chase them away.

7 My enemies are like a mighty flood. Reach down from heaven and save me. Save me from strangers who attack me.

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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