Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.

¹Blessed be the Lord , my Rock and my great strength,

Who trains my hands for war

And my fingers for battle;

²My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress,

My high tower and my rescuer,

My shield and He in whom I take refuge,

Who subdues my people under me.

³Lord , what is man that You take notice of him?

Or the son of man that You think of him? [Job 7:17; Ps 8:4; Heb 2:6]

⁴Man is like a mere breath;

His days are like a shadow that passes away.

⁵¶Bow Your heavens, O Lord , and come down;

Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

⁶Flash lightning and scatter my enemies;

Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them.

⁷Stretch out Your hand from above;

Set me free and rescue me from great waters,

Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us]

⁸Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint],

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹¶I will sing a new song to You, O God;

Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

¹⁰Who gives salvation to kings,

Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.

¹¹Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners,

Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint],

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

¹²¶Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,

And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;

¹³Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce,

And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

¹⁴Let our cattle bear

Without mishap and without loss,

And let there be no outcry in our streets!

¹⁵How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance;

How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the Lord !
