Psalms Chapter 144
Overview
Psa 144:1, David blesses God for his mercy both to him and to man; Psa 144:5, He prays that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies; Psa 144:9, He promises to praise God; Psa 144:11, He prays for the happy state of the kingdom.
Calmet and others think that this Psalm was composed by David after the death of Absalom; and from a collation of it with Psa. 18, in which the same ideas and form of expression occur, there can be no doubt of both having proceeded from the same pen, and that David was the author.
