Psalm 144

Psalm

A psalm written by David.

144 Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you!

Because you are righteous

and because you faithfully do what you have promised,

listen to what I am pleading for you to do for me.

2 I am one who worships you;

do not judge me

because you do not consider anyone to be completely innocent.

3 My enemies have pursued me;

they have completely defeated me.

It is as though they have put me in a dark prison

where I have nothing good to hope for.

4 So I am very discouraged in my inner being;

I am very dismayed.

5 I remember what has happened previously;

I meditate on all the things that you have done;

I consider all the great deeds that you have performed.

6 I lift up my hands to you while I pray;

I want very much to be with you as much as I would thirst for water in a vast wilderness.

7 Yahweh, I am very discouraged,

so please answer me right now!

Do not keep away from me

because if you do that, I will soon be among those who descend to where the dead people are.

8 Every morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love me

because I trust in you.

I pray to you;

show me the things that I should do.

9 Yahweh, I have gone to you for you to protect me,

so rescue me from my enemies.

10 You are my God;

teach me to do what you want me to do.

I want your good Spirit to show me the right things to do.

11 Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying as you promised to do

because you are righteous!

12 I am one who serves you;

so because you faithfully love me as you promised to do,

kill my enemies

and get rid of all those who oppress me.

Psalm

Written by David

144 I praise Yahweh, who is like a huge rock on which I am safe!

He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles;

he trains my fingers so that I can shoot arrows in a war.

2 He is the one who protects me as he promised;

he is like a fortress in which I am safe,

he protects me as shields protect soldiers,

and he gives me refuge.

He defeats other nations and then puts them under my power.

3 Yahweh, we people are so insignificant! Why do you notice us?

It is amazing to me that you pay attention to humans.

4 The time that we live is as short as a puff of wind;

our time to live disappears as a shadow does.

5 Yahweh, tear open the sky and come down!

Touch the mountains so that smoke may pour out from them!

6 Cause lightning to flash with the result that your enemies will run away!

Shoot your arrows at them and cause them to run away in panic.

7 It is as though my enemies are like a flood around me;

reach your hand down from heaven

and rescue me from them.

They are men from foreign countries

8 who always tell lies.

Even when they swear to tell the truth,

they tell lies.

9 God, I will sing a new song to you,

and I will play my ten-stringed harp while I sing to you.

10 You enable kings to defeat their enemies;

you rescue those who serve you as I did.

11 So I ask you to save me from being killed by the swords that those evil people carry.

Rescue me from the power of those men from foreign countries

who always tell lies.

Even when they swear to tell the truth,

they tell lies.

12 I wish that our sons may all grow to full adulthood;

I wish that our daughters may grow up to be as straight and tall

as the pillars that stand in the corners of palaces.

13 I wish that our barns may be full of many different crops.

I wish that the sheep in our fields may give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs.

14 I wish that our cattle may give birth to many calves

without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born.

I wish that there may not be any time when the people in our streets cry out in distress

because foreign armies are invading.

15 If good things like that happen to a nation,

the people will be very fortunate.

How fortunate are those who worship Yahweh as God!
