Context of Psalms 144:11
9I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10Who gives salvation to kings, Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword. Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace; 13Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce, And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Rid me, and deliver me - See the notes at Psalm 144:7-8. The language is here repeated.
