Psalms 144:5-10

⁵Yahweh, ◄tear open/open up► the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!

⁶Cause lightning to flash with the result that your enemies will run away! Shoot your arrows at them and cause them to ◄run away/scatter►.

⁷It 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

⁸who SYN always tell lies. Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth they tell lies.

⁹God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp while I sing to you.

¹⁰You enable kings to defeat their enemies; and you rescued me, your servant David, from being killed by my enemies' swords.
