Psalms 144:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 144
4Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow. 5Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. 6Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. 7Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners 8Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,King James Version
Chapter 144
4Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 5Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 144
4A human is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. 5Lord, part your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. 6Flash your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot your arrows and rout them. 7Reach down from on high; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreignersNew Living Translation
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!
7Reach 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.
