Read the chapter

1Blessed be the Lord, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; ✦ 2My faithfulness and my fortress, My stronghold and my savior, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. ✦ 3Lord, what is man, that You look after him? Or a son of man, that You think of him? ✦ 4Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow. ✦ 5¶Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. ✦ 6Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. ✦ 7Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners ✦ 8Whose mouth speaks deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. ✦ 9¶God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, ✦ 10Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword. ✦ 11Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. ✦ 12¶When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace, ✦ 13Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields; ✦ 14May our cattle be bred Without mishap and without loss, May there be no outcry in our streets! ✦ 15Blessed are the people who are so situated; 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.
