Context of Psalms 144:10

8Whose mouth speaks deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword. 11Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,

To be saved from the hurtful sword, or from wasting sickness, without deliverance from the dominion of sin and the wrath to come, is but a small advantage. The public prosperity David desired for his people, is stated. It adds much to the comfort and happiness of parents in this…Read the comment
