Context of Psalms 144:7

5Open the heavens, Lord, and come down. Touch the mountains so they billow smoke. 6Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies! Shoot your arrows and confuse them! Reach down from heaven and rescue me; rescue me from deep waters, from the power of my enemies. 8Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead. 9I will sing a new song to you, O God! I will sing your praises with a ten-stringed harp.
