Psalms 144:7

SalvationPrayerProtection and safety

5 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.

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

8 whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

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