Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 144:11

Psalms 144:11. Rid me, and deliver me— This is a kind of da capo, a repetition of that sentence upon which the psalm turns. These are probably the very words of the cry hinted at in Psa 118:5 which gave occasion to the following verses in that psalm, and the two first in this. Mudge. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 144:1-15

Psalms 144This is a prayer that asks for deliverance during war. David praised God for granting victory in past battles and requested success in a present military encounter with an enemy. He was confident that God would save His people."This psalm is a mosaic, not a monolith; most of its material, short of the final verses, is drawn from other psalms of David, most substantially Psalms 18."

David promised to praise God with a new song for the victory he believed God would give him. "New songs" in Scripture typically arose out of new experiences. Psalms 144:11 is a kind of refrain (cf. Psalms 144:8). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 144:1-15

This Ps. consists mainly of thoughts and quotations from earlier Pss., e.g. 8 and 18. Psalms 144:12-15 are, however, quite unlike anything else in the Psalter, and some suppose them to be a quotation from a lost Ps., possibly by David.2. My goodness] lit. ’my lovingkindness,’ but with the change of a single Hebrew letter we can render ’my castle,’ which is much more suitable. My people] probably we should render, ’the peoples.’3, 4. Cp. Psalms 8:4; Psalms 39:5.7. Strange children] i.e.... read more

Psalms 144:12 David is not praying that the youth of the land should have any abnormal precociousness; the picture before his mind is that of vigorous, healthful, upright, manly and ingenuous youth. I. A Healthful Frame; a Strong, Robust, Vigorous Physique. It has been said that, as righteousness is the health of the soul, so health is the righteousness of the body. All very true; but we must not run into the opposite error of encouraging the notion that thoughtful, refined, cultured,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 144:1-15

Psalms 144:1-15THE force of compilation could no further go than in this psalm, which is, in the first eleven verses (Psalms 144:1-11)simply a rechauffe of known psalms, and in Psalms 144:12-15 is most probably an extract from an unknown one of later date. The junctions are not effected with much skill, and the last is tacked on very awkwardly (Psalms 144:12). It is completely unlike the former part, inasmuch as there the speaker is a warlike king praying for victory, while in the latter the... read more

Psalm 143-145 In Psalms 143:1-12 the enemy is mentioned again, the enemy who pursued David. “For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have long been dead.” How this again reminds us of the death experience of the pious remnant when the man of sin, the Antichrist will rule in Israel’s land. Prayer for deliverance follows. Hear me speedily--Hide not Thy face from me--Cause me to hear Thy... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 144:1-15

Psalms 135:0 Praises God for choosing Jacob (Psalms 135:1-4 ), extols His power in the natural world (Psalms 135:5-7 ), and in the deliverance of His people from Egypt (Psalms 135:8-9 ) and bringing them into the promised land (Psalms 135:10-12 ). All this is in contrast to the vanity of idols (Psalms 135:13-18 ). Psalms 136:0 Is of the same character as the preceding, but is notable for the chorus attached to each verse a chorus with which we have become familiar in other psalms (Psalms 106:1... read more
