Blessed Be the LORD, My Rock
Of David.
144Verse 1Blessed be the LORD, my Rock,who trains my hands for war,my fingers for battle.Verse 2He is my steadfast love and my fortress,my stronghold and my deliverer.He is my shield, in whom I take refuge,who subdues peoples+under me.Verse 3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him,the son of man that You think of him?Verse 4Man is like a breath;his days are like a passing shadow.Verse 5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down;touch the mountains, that they may smoke.Verse 6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them;shoot Your arrows and rout them.Verse 7Reach down from on high;set me free and rescue mefrom the deep waters,from the grasp of foreigners,Verse 8whose mouths speak falsehood,whose right hands are deceitful.Verse 9I will sing to You a new song, O God;on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—Verse 10to Him who gives victory to kings,who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.Verse 11Set me free and rescue mefrom the grasp of foreigners,whose mouths speak falsehood,whose right hands are deceitful.Verse 12Then our sons will be like plantsnurtured in their youth,our daughters like corner pillarscarved to adorn a palace.Verse 13Our storehouses will be full,supplying all manner of produce;our flocks will bring forth thousands,tens of thousands in our fields.Verse 14Our oxen will bear great loads.+There will be no breach in the walls,no going into captivity,and no cry of lament in our streets.Verse 15Blessed are the people of whom this is so;blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
