Context of Psalms 144:11

9God, I will sing a new song to you; I will play on a ten-stringed harp for you — 10the one who gives victory to kings, who frees his servant David from the deadly sword. Set me free and rescue me from foreigners whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive. 12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style. 13Our storehouses will be full, supplying all kinds of produce; our flocks will increase by thousands and tens of thousands in our open fields.
