Quien adiestra mis manos para pelear
Y mis dedos para la guerra
Oh Dios, a Ti cantaré cántico nuevo
Con salterio, con decacordio cantaré a Ti Overall Meaning
The opening lines of the song "Bendito sea Jehová mi Roca" offer a clear expression of gratitude to God for equipping the singer with strength and skill for battle. "Roca" refers to God's steadfastness and unwavering support, while "adiestrar" (to train) suggests a careful cultivation of the singer's abilities under God's guidance. The specific mention of "manos" (hands) and "dedos" (fingers) concretely describe the physical preparation for conflict, perhaps signifying the need for dexterity and precision in a fight.
The subsequent lines shift the focus to praise and worship, as the singer promises to offer up a new song to God. The use of musical instruments like the "salterio" (a kind of harp) and "decacordio" (a ten-stringed instrument) further emphasizes the joy and celebration that accompanies this praise. The song seems to reflect a deep faith in God's protection and guidance in the midst of warfare, as well as an assurance of victory through His power.
