- Read this chapter

3 Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?

4 Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

5 Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

6 With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.

Matthew Henry   John Gill   Keil & Delitzsch  

PSALM 144

Ps 144:1-15. David's praise of God as his all-sufficient help is enhanced by a recognition of the intrinsic worthlessness of man. Confidently imploring God's interposition against his enemies, he breaks forth into praise and joyful anticipations of the prosperity of his kingdom, when freed from vain and wicked men.
