Psalms 144:3-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. O Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You think of him?

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

5. Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

6. Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them.

7. Stretch forth Your hand from on high; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens

8. Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9. I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
