Context of Psalms 144:7
5Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them. Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens; 8Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
