144 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

³⁴ He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

² The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

³ For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

⁴ Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

³⁵ He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

²⁴ Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

³⁰ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

³¹ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

¹² Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
