1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, the one who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war—
2 my loyal love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, and one in whom I take refuge, the one who subdues peoples under me.
3 O Yahweh, what is humankind that you take knowledge of him, or the son of man that you take thought of him?
4 Humankind is like a breath, his days like a passing shadow.
