Psalms 144:1

1 Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.

Psalms 144:1 In-Context

1 Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.
2 He is my protector and defender, my shelter and savior, in whom I trust for safety. He subdues the nations under me.
3 Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them; mere mortals, that you pay attention to us?
4 We are like a puff of wind; our days are like a passing shadow.
5 O Lord, tear the sky open and come down; touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
