Psalm 144

Praise be to the Lord my Rock…O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow. Part your heavens, O Lord, and come dawn…Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters…I will sing a new song to you, O God…to the One who gives victory to kings…Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
