6 Cast forth lightnings, and scatter them; send forth thine arrows, and discomfit them:
And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies. From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire. Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice. And he sent arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; Lightning, and discomfited them.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready, And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.

PSALM 144
Ps 144:1-15. David's praise of God as his all-sufficient help is enhanced by a recognition of the intrinsic worthlessness of man. Confidently imploring God's interposition against his enemies, he breaks forth into praise and joyful anticipations of the prosperity of his kingdom, when freed from vain and wicked men.
