Context of Psalms 144:11

9I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10The One who gives salvation to kings, Who delivers David His servant From the deadly sword. Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood— 12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style; 13That our barns may be full, Supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields;
