Blessed be the Lord, my rock,

who trains my hands for war,

and my fingers for battle;

he is my steadfast love and my fortress,

my stronghold and my deliverer,

my shield and he in whom I take refuge,

who subdues peoples under me.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,

who trains my hands for war,

my fingers for battle.

He is my loving God and my fortress,

my shield, in whom I take refuge,

who subdues peoples under me.

Blessed be the Lord, my rock

who trains my hands for battle

and my fingers for warfare.

my stronghold and my deliverer.

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

he subdues my people under me.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.
