⁶ With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.
⁷ Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;
⁸ In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
⁹ I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords.
¹⁰ It is God who gives salvation to kings; and who kept his servant David from the wounding sword.
¹¹ Make me free, and take me out of the hands of strange men, in whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
