I praise Yahweh, who is  like an overhanging rock  under which I ◄ get refuge/am protected►! He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles; he trains my fingers so that I can  shoot arrows in a war. 
He is the one who protects me; he is  like a fortress DOU in which I am safe, he protects me  like shields  protect soldiers MET, and he gives me refuge. He defeats  other nations and  then puts them under my power. 
Yahweh,  we people are  very insignificant/unimportant, so why ◄are you concerned/do you care about us► RHQ?  It is amazing to me that you pay attention to humans. 
 The time that we live is as short as SIM a puff of wind; our time to live disappears like a shadow does. 
Yahweh, ◄tear open/open up► the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them! 
Cause lightning to flash with the result that  your enemies will run away! Shoot your arrows  at them and cause them to ◄run away/scatter►. 
 It is as though my enemies surround me like a flood; reach your hand down from heaven and rescue me from them SYN. They are men from other countries 
who SYN  always tell lies.  Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth they tell lies. 
God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp  while I sing to you. 
You enable kings to defeat  their enemies; and you rescued me, your servant David, from  being killed by my enemies’ swords. 
 So I ask you to save me from  being killed by the swords  that those evil  people carry. Rescue me from the power MTY of those foreigners who SYN  always tell lies, and  who raise their right hands  in courtrooms when they solemnly declare that they will tell the truth. 
I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants SIM, and I wish/hope that our daughters will  grow up to be  straight and tall like the pillars SIM that stand in the corners of palaces. 
I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops. I wish/hope that the sheep in our fields will give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs. 
I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born (OR, that no enemies will break through our city walls and take us ◄into exile/to their own countries►). I wish/hope that  there will not be a time when the people in our streets cry out in distress  because foreign armies are invading. 
If good things like that happen to a nation, the people will be very happy. The people whose God is Yahweh are the ones who will be happy!
