Psalms 144:5-11

⁵Lord, bow your heavens and come down: touch the hills, so that they smoke.

⁶Flash forth lightning and scatter them, your arrows send forth and confound them.

⁷Stretch out your hand from on high; pluck me out of the mighty waters, out of the hands of foreigners,

⁸who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.

⁹O God, a new song I would sing you, on a ten-stringed harp make you music.

¹⁰For to kings you give the victory, and David your servant you save.

¹¹Snatch me from the cruel sword, rescue me from the hand of foreigners, who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.
