1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,Who trains my hands for war,And my fingers for battle—
2 My lovingkindness and my fortress,My high tower and my deliverer,My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,Who subdues my people under me.
3 Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
4 Man is like a breath;His days are like a passing shadow.
5 Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them;Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
