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].
2 Agra vagaore avesizama'areti avesinenantea Anumza mani'neankino, hankave vihuni'a mani'ne. Agrake'za fraki kumani'a mani'neno, nagura'vazino ete nenavre. Agra hankoni'a mani'negena, agripinka fraki'na nemanugeno, ru moparega vahetamina zamazeri nagafi atrege'na kegava hunezamantoe.
He is the one who protects me; he is [like] a fortress [DOU] in which I am safe, he protects me [like] [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.

Yahweh, (tear open/open up) the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!

[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
8 Ana vahe'mo'za havi nanekege nehu'za, ana hugahune hu'za huvempa nehazanagi, ana zana osugahaze.
who [SYN] [always] tell lies. [Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth] they tell lies.

[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 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)).
