1. Blessed be the Lord my strength,who prepares my hands for war,and my fingers to fight;
2. my goodness, and my fortress;my high tower, and my deliverer,my shield, and in whom I trust;who subdues nations under me.
3. O Lord, who is man that You take notice of himor the son of a man that You make account of him?
4. Man is like a breath;his days are as a shadow that passes away.
5. Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down;touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;shoot out Your arrows, and destroy them.
