WYC

NIV

1 A psalm of David. Blessed be my Lord God, that teacheth mine hands to war; and my fingers to battle. (A song of David. Blessed be the Lord my God, who traineth my hands for war; and my fingers for battle.)
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 My mercy, and my refuge; my taker up, and my deliverer. My defender, and I hoped in him; and thou makest subject my people under me. (My mercy, and my refuge; my defender, and my deliverer. Yea, my defender, and in whom I trust; and thou makest the peoples to be subject 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 is a man, for thou hast made (thyself) known to him; either the son of man, for thou areckonest him of some value? (Lord, what is man, that thou hast taken notice of him?/that thou carest for him? or the son of a man, that thou reckonest, or esteemest, him of some value?)
3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
4 A man is made like vanity; his days pass as shadow. (A person is but like vanity, yea, but a puff of air; his days pass like a shadow.)
4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 Lord, bow down thine heavens, and come thou down; touch thou [the] hills, and they shall make smoke.
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Light thou shining, and thou shalt scatter them (Send thou forth thy lightning, and thou shalt scatter thy enemies); send thou out thine arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
