Blessed be the Lord, my rock,

who subdues peoples under me.

Praise the Lord, who is my rock.

He trains my hands for war

and gives my fingers skill for battle.

He is my loving ally and my fortress,

my tower of safety, my rescuer.

He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.

He makes the nations submit to me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,

the one who trains my hands for battle,

my fingers for war—

my loyal love and my fortress,

my stronghold and my deliverer,

my shield, and one in whom I take refuge,

the one who subdues peoples under me.

KJV 1900King James Version

Blessed be the Lord my strength,

Which teacheth my hands to war,

And my fingers to fight:

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer;

My shield, and he in whom I trust;

Who subdueth my people under me.
