^34 (A)He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
^(A)Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—

^9 (A)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
^(B)He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
^(C)He burns the chariot in the fire.

45 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To ^(A)Cyrus, whose ^(B)right hand I have ^[a]held—
^(C)To subdue nations before him
And ^(D)loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:

⁶ For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

^5 (A)It shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
