CEB

NIV

1 Bless the LORD, my rock, who taught my hands how to fight, who taught my fingers how to do battle!
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 God is my loyal one, my fortress, my place of safety, my rescuer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, and the one who subdues people before 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 What are human beings, LORD, that you know them at all? What are human beings that you even consider them?
3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
4 Humans are like a puff of air; their days go by like a shadow.
4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 LORD, part your skies and come down! Touch the mountains so they smoke!
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Flash lightning and scatter the enemy! Shoot your arrows and defeat them!
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
