4 Humans are like a puff of air;their days go by like a shadow.
5 Lord, part your skies and come down!Touch the mountains so they smoke!
6 Flash lightning and scatter the enemy!Shoot your arrows and defeat them!
7 Stretch out your hand from above!Rescue me and deliver me from deep water,from the power of strangers, whose mouths speak lies,
8 and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception!
9 I will sing a new song to you, God.I will sing praises to you on a ten-stringed harp,
10 to you—the one who gives saving help to rulers,and who rescues his servant David from the evil sword.
