✧1By David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle— Copy✧2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me. Copy✧3LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him? Copy✧4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away. Copy✧5Part your heavens, LORD, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. Copy✧6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them. Copy✧7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners, Copy✧8whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
