Psalm 144

You, oh Lord, are our rock. You prepare us to defend ourselves. We are guarded and guided by you. You are loving kindness, and you are our fortress. You are our high tower and our deliver. You are our shield and the one in whom we take refuge.

You stretch out your hand, Father, and you rescue us and deliver us. You guard us against confusion and clamor. You cover us against lying words and falsehoods.

We sing new songs of praise to you. You give us salvation. You rescue each of our generations from evil deception. By your grace and living word, our young men will grow up well and will mature early in their faith, and our young women will get a vision for being a polished cornerstone in your temple, sculptured for you, Father.

Our barns will be full. We will always have bountiful provision. Our disciples will bring other disciples and more and more, and on and on. Our vehicles will run and carry everything we need.

There will be no theft or malfeasance. There will be no complaining. All our people will be happy. We will know that you, Father, are our God, and our joy will be full.
