Psalms 144:2-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2. He is my faithful love and my fortress,my stronghold and my deliverer.He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him; He subdues my people under me.

3. Lord, what is man, that You care for him,the son of man, that You think of him?

4. Man is like a breath;his days are like a passing shadow.

5. Lord, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6. Flash Your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

7. Reach down from heaven; rescue me from deep water, and set me freefrom the grasp of foreigners

8. whose mouths speak lies,whose right hands are deceptive.

9. God, I will sing a new song to You;I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You —
