144 Bless the Lord who is my immovable Rock. He gives me strength and skill in battle.

² He is always kind and loving to me; he is my fortress, my tower of strength and safety, my deliverer. He stands before me as a shield. He subdues my people under me.

⁹ I will sing you a new song, O God, with a ten-stringed harp. ¹⁰ For you grant victory to kings! You are the one who will rescue your servant David from the fatal sword.
