Psalm 144:3-8

3LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?

4They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

5Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.

7Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners

8whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.
