Psalm 144. The LORD is my shield and my refuge.

Rev. Stewart Crown, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Palo Alto, CA joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study and pray Psalm 144.

We pray this psalm as when we are surrounded by chaos to be reminded of our hope in the LORD. David was the point man of reclaiming the truth for God’s people of the coming Messiah. He proclaimed this Christological prayer to remind people that not only will there be a new creation at Christ’s coming, but He is rescuing us from the evil one today and provides for all our needs. “Lord God, help us to pray. We give You thanks that You are our rock and Your steadfast love for us who are like passing shadows. Stretch out Your hand from on high and come down to have mercy on. We sing a new song knowing that You have the victory in Christ and that we are blessed by You. In Christ, Amen”
