5Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. 6Flash lightning and scatter my enemies; Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them. Stretch out Your hand from above; Set me free and rescue me from great waters, Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us] 8Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
