³⁴ He trains my hands for battle;
    he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

¹ Praise the Lord, who is my rock.
    He trains my hands for war
    and gives my fingers skill for battle.

⁹ He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
    He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.

³⁶ You have given me your shield of victory;
    your help^[a] has made me great.

⁶ He will give a longing for justice
    to their judges.
He will give great courage
    to their warriors who stand at the gates.

“I will destroy the archers of Elam—
    the best of their forces.
