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
