\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 I praise Yahweh, who is like a huge rock on which I am safe!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he trains my fingers so that I can shoot arrows in a war.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 He is the one who protects me as he promised;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he is like a fortress in which I am safe,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he protects me as shields protect soldiers,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and he gives me refuge.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 He defeats other nations and then puts them under my power.

\q1

\q1 I wish that our daughters may grow up to be as straight and tall
|

\q1 I wish that there may not be any time when the people in our streets cry out in distress
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 because foreign armies are invading.
