Psalm 144:5-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
    touch the mountains so that they smoke.^(A)
6 Make the lightning flash and scatter them;
    send out your arrows and rout them.^(B)
7 Stretch out your hand from on high;
    set me free and rescue me from the mighty waters,
    from the hand of foreigners,^(C)
8 whose mouths speak lies
    and whose right hands are false.^(D)

⁹ I will sing a new song to you, O God;
    upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,^(E)
10 the one who gives victory to kings,
    who rescues his servant David.^(F)
11 Rescue me from the cruel sword,
    and deliver me from the hand of aliens,
whose mouths speak lies,
    and whose right hands are false.^(G)
