1 > Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, Who teaches my hands to war, And my fingers to battle:
He teaches my hands to war; So that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
He teaches my hands to war, So that my arms do bend a bow of brass.
For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were favorable to them. You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, For you are my rock and my fortress.
Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

PSALM 144
Ps 144:1-15. David's praise of God as his all-sufficient help is enhanced by a recognition of the intrinsic worthlessness of man. Confidently imploring God's interposition against his enemies, he breaks forth into praise and joyful anticipations of the prosperity of his kingdom, when freed from vain and wicked men.
