4Man is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.
5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down;
touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them;
shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7Reach down from on high;
set me free and rescue me
from the deep waters,
from the grasp of foreigners,
8whose mouths speak falsehood,
whose right hands are deceitful.
— Psalm 144:4-8
