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.
