3 Lord, what is a human being that you take care of him? What is a son of man that you think about him?
4 His life doesn't last any longer than a breath. His days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.
5 Lord, open up your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
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 strangers 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.
9 God, I will sing a new song to you. I will make music to you on a harp that has ten strings.
