Part of Book V📖 Psalms introduction

Read the chapter

1By David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle: ✦ 2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me. ✦ 3Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him? ✦ 4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away. ✦ 5Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. ✦ 6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them. ✦ 7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners; ✦ 8whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. ✦ 9I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you. ✦ 10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword. ✦ 11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. ✦ 12Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace. ✦ 13Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields. ✦ 14Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets. ✦ 15Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh. ✦

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.
