Psalms 144 — Context

Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?

Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.

Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;

In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.

I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords.
