Context of Psalms 144:11

9O God, I will sing a new song to you! Accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, I will sing praises to you, 10the one who delivers kings, and rescued David his servant from a deadly sword. Grab me and rescue me from the power of foreigners, who speak lies, and make false promises. 12Then our sons will be like plants, that quickly grow to full size. Our daughters will be like corner pillars, carved like those in a palace. 13Our storehouses will be full, providing all kinds of food. Our sheep will multiply by the thousands and fill our pastures.
