Psalm 144

Of David.

³ Join with me in suffering,^(A) like a good soldier^(B) of Christ Jesus.

¹² Fight the good fight^(A) of the faith. Take hold of^(B) the eternal life^(C) to which you were called when you made your good confession^(D) in the presence of many witnesses.

¹¹ Put on the full armor of God,^(A) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

¹² From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,^[a] and violent people have been raiding it.
