GW

NIV

1 Thank the LORD, my rock, who trained my hands to fight and my fingers to do battle,
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 my merciful one, my fortress, my stronghold, and my savior, my shield, the one in whom I take refuge, and the one who brings people under my authority.
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 O LORD, what are humans that you should care about them? What are mere mortals that you should think about them?
3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
4 Humans are like a breath of air. Their life span is like a fleeting shadow.
4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 O LORD, bend your heaven low, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Hurl bolts of lightning, and scatter them. Shoot your arrows, and throw them into confusion.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
