Psalm 144:5-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke!

6. Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!

7. Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,from the hand of foreigners,

8. whose mouths speak liesand whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9. I will sing a new song to you, O God;upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,

10. who gives victory to kings,who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.

11. Rescue me and deliver mefrom the hand of foreigners,whose mouths speak liesand whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
