³⁴ He ^(A)trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

144 Blessed be the Lord, my ^(A)rock,
    ^(B)who trains my hands for war,
    and my fingers for battle;

^9 (A)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he ^(B)breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    ^(C)he burns the chariots with fire.

³⁶ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your gentleness made me great.

45 Thus says the Lord to ^(A)his anointed, to Cyrus,
    ^(B)whose right hand I have grasped,
to subdue nations before him
    and ^(C)to loose the belts of kings,
to open doors before him
    that gates may not be closed:

⁶ and ^(A)a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
    and ^(B)strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
