Psalms 144:11

9 I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—

10 to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.

Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
