1 By David. Blessed `is' Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
Jehovah `is' my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God `is' my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.
Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them. Thou `art' He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
For who `is' God besides Jehovah? And who `is' a rock save our God?
Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark `art' Thou.
Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout 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.
