Psalms 144:1-6

New Century Version NCV

1 Praise the Lord, my Rock, who trains me for war, who trains me for battle.

2 He protects me like a strong, walled city, and he loves me. He is my defender and my Savior, my shield and my protection. He helps me keep my people under control.

3 Lord, why are people important to you? Why do you even think about human beings?

4 People are like a breath; their lives are like passing shadows.

5 Lord, tear open the sky and come down. Touch the mountains so they will smoke.

6 Send the lightning and scatter my enemies. Shoot your arrows and force them away.

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.
