Psalm 144:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Reach out your hand from on high;
deliver me from the many waters;
rescue me from the hands of foreign foes.
8 Their mouths speak untruth;
their right hands are raised in lying oaths.[a]
9 O God, a new song I will sing to you;
on a ten-stringed lyre I will play for you.(A)
