Prayer for National Deliverance and Security

A Psalm of David.

144 Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
    and my fingers for battle;
my rock[a] and my fortress,
    my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
    who subdues the peoples under him.[b]

O Lord, what is man that thou dost regard him,
    or the son of man that thou dost think of him?
