Amplified Bible

Psalm 144:4-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. Man is like vanity and a breath; his days are as a shadow that passes away.

5. Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6. Cast forth lightning and scatter [my enemies]; send out Your arrows and embarrass and frustrate them.

7. Stretch forth Your hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hands of hostile aliens (tribes around us)

8. Whose mouths speak deceit and whose right hands are right hands [raised in taking] fraudulent oaths.

9. I will sing a new song to You, O God; upon a harp, an instrument of ten strings, will I offer praises to You.

10. You are He Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues David His servant from the hurtful sword [of evil].

11. Rescue me and deliver me out of the power of [hostile] alien [tribes] whose mouths speak deceit and whose right hands are right hands [raised in taking] fraudulent oaths.
