Psalm 144:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies.
    Shoot your arrows and chase them away.
⁷ My enemies are like a mighty flood.
    Reach down from heaven and save me.
    Save me from outsiders who attack me.
⁸ They tell all kinds of lies with their mouths.
    Even when they make a promise by raising their right hands, they don’t mean it.
