A Song to the Lord Who Preserves and Prospers His People

A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
aWho trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle— 
2 My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues1 my people under me. 
3 aLord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? 
4 aMan is like a breath;
bHis days are like a passing shadow.
