The first verse is rendered in the King James Version (KJV) as "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight." [6] This translates the Hebrew: ברוך יהוה צורי המלמד ידי לקרב אצבעותי למלחמה׃ [7] Thus, in KJV "my strength" renders צורי (lit. "my rock").

The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures. [15]
The psalm is usually dated in its first part in the pre-exilic period of Israel, sometimes even completely in the oldest monarchy. [5]O. Palmer Robertson observes the concept of a priest-king seen in Psalm 110 is also seen in the post-exilic minor prophet Zechariah 6:12-13, emphasizing the priest-king will also build the Lord's temple and rule as priest on the throne.
Several verses from Psalm 51 are regular parts of Jewish liturgy. Verses (in Hebrew) 3, 4, 9, 13, 19, 20, and 21 are said in Selichot. Verses 9, 12, and 19 are said during Tefillat Zakkah prior to the Kol Nidrei service on Yom Kippur eve. Verse 17, "O Lord, open my lips", is recited as a preface to the Amidah in all prayer services
In Hebrew the first three verses increase numerically: Two parallel phrases of five words each, then six, then seven (hinting at completion in Jewish numerology). [13] The Psalm is a cry for help, [15] and ultimately a declaration of belief in the greatness of God and trust in the protection God provides.
