Psalms 144:3-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. Lord, what is man that you take notice of him;the son of man, that you think of him?

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

5. Lord, incline your heavens and come down;touch the mountains and make them smoke.

6. Flash forth lightning and scatter my foes;shoot your arrows and rout them.

7. Reach out your hand from on high;deliver me from the many waters;rescue me from the hands of foreign foes.

8. Their mouths speak untruth;their right hands are raised in lying oaths.

9. O God, a new song I will sing to you;on a ten-stringed lyre I will play for you.

10. You give victory to kings;you delivered David your servant.From the menacing sword
