ASV

NIV

1 Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, [And] my fingers to fight:
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
4 Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
