Context of Psalms 144:9
7Put your hand down from heaven, and pick me out from the deep water. Save me from the power of foreign people. 8Their mouths speak lies. Even when they make a promise, they are deceiving people. I will sing to you a new song, God. I will make music to you on my harp. 10You help kings to win against their enemies. You also save me, your servant David, from my enemies, when they try to kill me with their dangerous swords. 11Keep me safe from the power of foreign people. They speak lies. Even when they make a promise, it is false.
