Psalm 144:2-8 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

2. He is my loving God and my fortress,my stronghold and my deliverer,my shield, in whom I take refuge,who subdues peoples under me.

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

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

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

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

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

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