1. May the Lord, my rock, be praised, who trains my hands for battleand my fingers for warfare.
2. He is my faithful love and my fortress,my stronghold and my deliverer.He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him; He subdues my people under me.
3. Lord, what is man, that You care for him,the son of man, that You think of him?
4. Man is like a breath;his days are like a passing shadow.
5. Lord, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6. Flash Your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7. Reach down from heaven; rescue me from deep water, and set me freefrom the grasp of foreigners
8. whose mouths speak lies,whose right hands are deceptive.
9. God, I will sing a new song to You;I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You —
