GNT

NIV

1 Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 He is my protector and defender, my shelter and savior, in whom I trust for safety. He subdues the nations 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 Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them; mere mortals, that you pay attention to us?
3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
4 We are like a puff of wind; our days are like a passing shadow.
4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 O Lord, tear the sky open and come down; touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Send flashes of lightning and scatter your enemies; shoot your arrows and send them running.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
