Psalm 144:1-3
Contemporary English Version

(By David.)

A Prayer for the Nation

1 I praise you, Lord!
    You are my mighty rock,[a]
and you teach me
    how to fight my battles.
2 You are my friend, my fortress,
    where I am safe.
You are my shield,
and you made me the ruler
    of our people.[b]

3 (A) Why do we humans mean anything
to you, our Lord?
    Why do you care about us?
