Psalms 144:4-10 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

4. They are like a puff of wind;their days are like a passing shadow.

5. O Lord, tear the sky apart and come down;touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.

6. Send flashes of lightning and scatter your enemies;shoot your arrows and send them running.

7. Reach down from above,pull me out of the deep water, and rescue me;save me from the power of foreigners,

8. who never tell the truthand lie even under oath.

9. I will sing you a new song, O God;I will play the harp and sing to you.

10. You give victory to kingsand rescue your servant David.
