Saturday’s Meditation – Psalm 144:1-3, 16

Blessed be the LORD my rock! 
who trains my hands to fight and my fingers to battle;

My help and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, 
my shield in whom I trust, who subdues the peoples under me.

O LORD, what are we that you should care for us? 
mere mortals that you should think of us?

Happy are the people of whom this is so! 
happy are the people whose God is the LORD!
