Blessed Be Yehovah

Blessed be Yehovah my Rock Who trains my hands for war Clouds He rides and sends great winds and lightning from His store He will guard His servants, and He rightly rules their cause He will crush the wicked–save oppressed ones from their claws Blessed be He Who shields my head amidst the greatest strife With His miracles He saves me; He preserves my life He Who shakes the mountains is my fortress and defense With my King I face a troop and leap the highest fence Blessed be He Who fights for us and gives the victory In His strength all chains are snapped–from sin He set us free Death could never conquer Him; He lives, and so shall we His is glory, might, and rule through all eternity Blessed are all Who trust in Him; they shall not suffer shame Those who run to hide in Him find refuge in His Name Zealously He guards His sheep, and camps around His flock He shall make their feet like deer–they climb the highest rock Blessed are those who wait for Him; He fills them with His might In His strength the lame will walk, the weak will bravely fight He will lift us up; on wings of eagles we shall fly Knowing He is on our side, all fear will quickly die Blessed are those whose strength is You, Your paths are in their heart Though they cross the desert, though they face the foe’s swift dart Always Yah will give them strength, and when the battles cease Blessed be Yehovah our God Who gives His people peace
