Psalms 144 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

(By David.)A Prayer for the Nation

1I praise you, Lord!

You are my mighty rock,

and you teach me

how to fight my battles.

2You are my friend, my fortress,

where I am safe.

You are my shield,

and you made me the ruler

of our people.

3

Don't let our city be captured

or any of us be taken away,

and don't let cries of sorrow

be heard in our streets.

15Our Lord and our God,

you give these blessings

to all who worship you.
