¹ Praise the Lord, who is my rock.
    He trains my hands for war
    and gives my fingers skill for battle.

³⁴ He trains my hands for battle;
    he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

² The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
    my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
    and my place of safety.

³⁵ He trains my hands for battle;
    he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

³ They did not conquer the land with their swords;
    it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was your right hand and strong arm
    and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
    for you loved them.

⁴ You are my King and my God.
    You command victories for Israel.^[a]

²⁴ The people will declare,
    “The Lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.”
And all who were angry with him
    will come to him and be ashamed.

¹² With God’s help we will do mighty things,
    for he will trample down our foes.

³⁰ How could one person chase a thousand of them,
    and two people put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock had sold them,
    unless the Lord had given them up?
³¹ But the rock of our enemies is not like our Rock,
    as even they recognize.^[a]
