A Prayer for Victory

Of David.

144 Praise the Lord, my Rock.
    He trains me for war.
    He trains me for battle.
He gives me love and protects me like a strong, walled city.
    He is my place of safety and my Savior.
He is my shield and my protection.
    He helps me rule my people.

    who subdues peoples[a](E) under me.
