Put your hand down from heaven,
    and pick me out from the deep water.[a]
Save me from the power of foreign people.
Their mouths speak lies.
Even when they make a promise,
    they are deceiving people.

I will sing to you a new song, God.
    I will make music to you on my harp.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 144:7 David feels like he is in deep and dangerous water, because his enemies are giving him a lot of trouble.
  2. 144:9 David prays for help (maybe against Goliath and the Philistines). If God saves David from death by the sword, David will make music to the Lord.
