Psalms 144:1-15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

A PSALM in which praise and prayer are commingled. Almost certainly Davidic:

1. From the title.

2. From the style.

3. From the way in which David is mentioned in Psalms 144:10 (comp. Psalms 61:6; Psalms 63:11; and especially Psalms 18:50).
