## Blessed Be Yahweh, My Rock 

###### 1
Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, My fingers for battle; 

###### 2
My lovingkindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. 

###### 3
O Yahweh, what is man, that You know him? Or the son of man, that You think of him? 

###### 4
Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow. 

###### 5
O Yahweh, bow Your heavens, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. 

###### 6
Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. 

###### 7
Send forth Your hand from on high; Set me free and deliver me out of many waters, Out of the hand of foreigners 

###### 8
Whose mouth speaks worthlessness, And whose right hand is a right hand of lying. 

###### 9
O God, I will sing a new song to You; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 

###### 10
Who gives salvation to kings, Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword. 

###### 11
Set me free and deliver me out of the hand of the sons of a foreigner, Whose mouth speaks worthlessness And whose right hand is a right hand of lying. 

###### 12
That our sons would be as grown-up plants in their youth, And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace; 

###### 13
_That_ our granaries would be full, furnishing every kind of produce, _And_ our flocks would bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our _fields_ outside; 

###### 14
That our cattle would bear Without mishap and without loss, And without outcry in our streets! 

###### 15
How blessed are the people for whom this is so; How blessed are the people for whom God is Yahweh!
