[Verse 1]
Blessed be the Lord, my rock
Who trains my hands for war
He's my fortress, my stronghold, and my deliverer
He's my shield and He in whom I take up my refuge
Who subdues the nations under me

[Chorus]
O Lord, what is man that You regard Him?
Or the son of man that You think of Him?
Man is like a breath, his days are passing like a shadow
Like a shadow

[Verse 2]
Open up and bow the heavens
O Lord, and come down
Touch the mountains so they bellow smoke
Flash forth lightning scatter them
And send Your arrows out
Send your hand from high and rescue me

[Chorus]
O Lord, what is man that You regard Him?
Or the son of man that You think of Him?
Man is like a breath, his days are passing like a shadow
Like a shadow
[Bridge]
I will sing a song to You
On the harp I'll play to You
Who rescues their servant from the sword
Rescue me, deliver me
From the hand of enemies
Whose mouths are filled up
With lies and falsehood
May our sons be plants full grown
Our daughters as cornerstones
May our fields be filled into the thousands
May there be no cries of grief
Blessed are those with such blessings
Blessed are those whose God is the Lord

[Chorus]
O Lord, what is man that You regard Him?
Or the son of man that You think of Him?
Man is like a breath, his days are passing like a shadow
Like a shadow

[Outro]
Like a shadow
Like a shadow
Like a shadow
