144:1  Of David. Praise the Lord, my Rock. He trains me for war. He trains me for battle.
144:2  He gives me love and protects me like a strong, walled city. He is my place of safety and my Savior. He is my shield and my protection. He helps me rule my people.
144:3  Lord, why is man important to you? Why do you even think about a human being?
144:4  A man is like a breath. His life is like a passing shadow.
144:5  Lord, tear open the sky and come down. Touch the mountains so they will smoke.
144:6  Send the lightning and scatter my enemies. Shoot your arrows and force them away.
144:7  Reach down from above. Pull me out of this sea of enemies. Rescue me from these foreigners.
144:8  They are liars. They are dishonest.
144:9  God, I will sing a new song to you. I will play to you on the ten-stringed harp.
144:10  You give victory to kings. You save your servant David from cruel swords.
144:11  Save me, rescue me from these foreigners. They are liars. They are dishonest.
144:12  Let our sons in their youth grow like strong trees. Let our daughters be like the decorated stones in the Temple.
144:13  Let our barns be filled with crops of all kinds. Let our sheep in the fields have thousands and thousands of lambs.
144:14  Let our cattle be strong. Let no one break in. Let there be no war. Let there be no screams in our streets.
144:15  Happy are those who are like this. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
