Praise the Lord! He is my Rock. He prepares me for war. He trains me for battle.
He trains me for war so that my arms can bend the most powerful bow.
The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety. He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection. He is my shield; by his power I am saved. He is my hiding place high in the hills.
The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments,
They will say, ‘Goodness and strength come only from the Lord.’” And all who show their anger against him will be humiliated.
Only God can make us strong. Only God can defeat our enemies!
There is no God except the Lord. There is no Rock except our God.
Come, let us sing praise to the Lord! Let us shout praises to the Rock who saves us.
Be my Rock, my place of safety. Be my fortress, and protect me! You are my Rock and my protection.
So trust the Lord always, because in the Lord YAH you have a place of safety forever.
Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” Jehoash put his hand on the bow. Then Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
I called to the Lord for help, and he saved me from my enemies! He is worthy of my praise!
Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. You support me with your right hand. It is your help that has made me great.
