Introduction
Overview
Psalm 144 . 1 , David blesses God for his mercy both to him and to man; Psalm 144 . 5 , He prays that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies; Psalm 144 . 9 , He promises to praise God; Psalm 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.
