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

Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

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

7 Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
