1 Praise the Lord, my protector!He trains me for battleand prepares me for war.
2 He is my protector and defender,my shelter and saviour,in whom I trust for safety.He subdues the nations under me.
3 Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them;mere mortals, that you pay attention to them?
4 They are like a puff of wind;their days are like a passing shadow.
5 O Lord, tear the sky apart and come down;touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
