1. Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;
2. My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me!
3. Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?
4. Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
