Psalm 144:9

I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
8whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
