Psalms 144
144
Rescue Me
King David’s poetic song as he stood before Goliath # 144 As translated from the Septuagint. Put yourself in David’s place as he faced a giant named Goliath. Imagine how he felt as you read through this psalm.
1There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me;
it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle.
2He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith,
who wraps himself around me as a secure shield.
I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me.
3Lord, what is it about us that you would even notice us?
Why do you even bother with us?
4For man is nothing but a faint whisper, a mere breath.
We spend our days like nothing more than a passing shadow.
5Step down from heaven, Lord, and come down!
Make the mountains melt at your touch.
6Loose your fiery lightning flashes and scatter your enemies.
Overthrow them with your terrifying judgments.
7Reach down from your heavens
and rescue me from this hell
and deliver me from these dark powers.
8They speak nothing but lies; their words are pure deceit.
Nothing they say can ever be trusted.
9My God, I will sing you a brand-new song!
The harp inside my heart will make music to you!
10I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings—
the one who rescues David, your loving servant,
from the fatal sword.
11Deliver me and save me from these dark powers
who speak nothing but lies.
Their words are pure deceit,
and you can’t trust anything they say.
12Deliver us! Then our homes will be happy.
Our sons will grow up as strong, sturdy men
and our daughters with graceful beauty,
royally fashioned as for a palace.
13-14Our barns will be filled to the brim,
overflowing with the fruits of our harvest.
Our fields will be full of sheep and cattle,
too many to count,
and our livestock will not miscarry their young.
Our enemies will not invade our land,
and there’ll be no breach in our walls.
15What bliss we experience when these blessings fall!
The people who love and serve our God will be happy indeed!

1Blessed be יהוה my Rock, Who is teaching my hands for fighting, My fingers for battle;
2My loving-commitment and my stronghold, My tower and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I take refuge, Who is subduing peoples under me.
3יהוה, what is man, that You should know him? Son of man, that You should think of him?
4Man is like a breath, His days like a passing shadow.
5Incline Your heavens, O יהוה, and come down; Touch the mountains that they smoke.
6Send forth lightning and scatter them, Send forth Your arrows and confuse them.
7Send forth Your hand from above; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, From the hand of foreigners,
8Whose mouth has spoken falsehood, And whose right hand is a right hand of lies.
9O Elohim, a new song I sing to You; On a harp of ten strings I sing praises to You,
10Who gives deliverance to sovereigns, Who rescues Dawiḏ His servant From the evil sword.
11Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth has spoken falsehood, And whose right hand is a right hand of lies;
12Because our sons are like plants Grown up in their youth; Our daughters like hewn stones, Polished, like a palace building;
13Let our storehouses be filled, Supplying all kinds; Let our sheep bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields;
14Our cattle well-laden; No breaking in, no going out; And no crying in our streets.
15Blessed are the people who have it so; Blessed are the people whose Elohim is יהוה!
