For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God,

He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

For You have encircled me with strength for battle; You have forced those who rose up against me to bow down under me.

They cried for help, but there was no one to save, They cried to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.

Their line has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD fulfill all your desires.

For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked for life from You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever.

For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.

For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

For You will make them turn their back; You will take aim at their faces with Your bowstrings.

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near; For there is no one to help.

For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

They divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing.

For He has not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations.

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For the sake of His name.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.
