Of David.

1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock,¹ who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. 2 He is my loving God and my fortress,² my stronghold³ and my deliverer, my shield,⁴ in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples^a⁵ under me. 3 O LORD, what is man⁶ that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? 4 Man is like a breath;⁷ his days are like a fleeting shadow.⁸ 5 Part your heavens,⁹ O LORD, and come down;¹⁰ touch the mountains, so that they smoke.¹¹ 6 Send forth lightning¹² and scatter¹³ [the enemies]; shoot your arrows¹⁴ and rout them. 7 Reach down your hand from on high;¹⁵ deliver me and rescue me¹⁶ from the mighty waters,¹⁷ from the hands of foreigners¹⁸
