Psalms 144:9
7 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.
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.
11 Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
