1. Baruch Hashem my Tzur (rock) which teacheth my hands for war, and my fingers for milchamah (battle);
2. My Chesed, and my Metzudah (Fortress); my Stronghold, and my Deliverer; my Mogen, and He in Whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.
3. Hashem, what is adam, that Thou takest knowledge of him! Or the ben enosh, that Thou takest account of him!
4. Adam is like hevel; his days are as a tzel that passeth away.
5. Part Thy heavens, Hashem, and come down; touch the harim, and they shall smoke.
6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; shoot Thine khitzim (arrows), and destroy them.
