Read the chapter

1Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. ✦ 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. ✦ 3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him? ✦ 4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. ✦ 5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke. ✦ 6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them. ✦ 7Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners, ✦ 8whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful. ✦ 9I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You— ✦ 10to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword. ✦ 11Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful. ✦ 12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace. ✦ 13Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields. ✦ 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. ✦ 15Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 144 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
