Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.
A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed be the Loʀᴅ, APs 18:2my rock,
Who B2 Sam 22:35; Ps 18:34trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle;
2 My lovingkindness and APs 18:2; 91:2my fortress,
My BPs 59:9stronghold and my deliverer,
My CPs 3:3; 28:7; 84:9shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who DPs 18:39subdues 1Another reading is peoplesmy people under me.
3 O Loʀᴅ, AJob 7:17; Ps 8:4; Heb 2:6what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You think of him?
4 APs 39:11Man is like a mere breath;
His BJob 8:9; 14:2; Ps 102:11; 109:23days are like a passing shadow.
CPs 104:32Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6 Flash forth APs 18:14lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your BPs 7:13; 58:7; Hab 3:11; Zech 9:14arrows and confuse them.
7 Stretch forth Your hand APs 18:16from on high;
Rescue me and BPs 69:1, 14deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hand of CPs 18:44; 54:3aliens
8 Whose mouths APs 12:2; 41:6speak deceit,
And whose BGen 14:22; Deut 32:40; Ps 106:26; Is 44:20right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a APs 33:3; 40:3new song to You, O God;
Upon a BPs 33:2harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10 Who APs 18:50gives salvation to kings,
Who B2 Sam 18:7; Ps 140:7rescues David His servant from the evil sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me out of the hand of APs 18:44; 54:3aliens,
Whose mouth BPs 12:2; 41:6speaks deceit
And whose CGen 14:22; Deut 32:40; Ps 106:26; Is 44:20right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 Let our sons in their youth be as APs 92:12-14; 128:3grown-up plants,
And our daughters as BSong 4:4; 7:4corner pillars 1Lit cut after the pattern offashioned as for a palace;
13 Let our AProv 3:9, 10garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce,
And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our 1Lit outsidefields;
Let there be no DIs 24:11; Jer 14:2outcry in our streets!
15 How blessed are the people who are so situated;
How APs 33:12blessed are the people whose God is the Loʀᴅ!
