Psalm 144:1-4
King James Version

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

2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Of David.

1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock,(A)
    who trains my hands for war,
    my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,(B)

    their days are like a fleeting shadow.(H)
