1. By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2. My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
3. Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
4. Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.
5. Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
6. Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
7. Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
