1. Of David. Blessed be Adonai my Rock— who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2. He is my lovingkindness, my fortress, my strong tower, and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
3. Adonai, what is man, that You take note of him? Or the son of man, that You consider him?
4. Man is like a breath— his days are like a passing shadow.
5. Adonai, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, so they smoke.
6. Flash forth lightning and scatter them. Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
7. Stretch forth Your hands from on high. Snatch me, deliver me out of deep waters, out of the hand of foreigners,
8. whose mouth speaks falsehood, whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
9. God, I sing a new song to You, on a ten-string harp I sing praises to You—
10. who gives salvation to kings, who rescues Your servant David from the evil sword.
