Today’s Daily Devotion: Praise Be To The Lord My Rock, Who Trains My Hands For War, My Fingers For Battle

Psalm 144

1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.

2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

3 Lord, what are human beings that you care for them,
mere mortals that you think of them?

4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

5 Part your heavens, Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.

7 Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners

8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

9 I will sing a new song to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,

10 to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David.

From the deadly sword

11 deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigner whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
