Contextual Overview

9O God, let me sing a new song to you, let me play it on a twelve-string guitar— A song to the God who saved the king, the God who rescued David, his servant. 11 Rescue me from the enemy sword, release me from the grip of those barbarians Who lie through their teeth, who shake your hand then knife you in the back. 12Make our sons in their prime like sturdy oak trees, Our daughters as shapely and bright as fields of wildflowers. Fill our barns with great harvest, fill our fields with huge flocks; Protect us from invasion and exile— eliminate the crime in our streets. 15 How blessed the people who have all this! How blessed the people who have God for God!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,.... This is repeated from Psalms 144:7; and is done to show the vehemency and importunity of the request, and the danger David was in, and his sense of it; Psalms 144:7- :;

whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood. Psalms 144:7- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rid me, and deliver me ... - See the notes at Psalms 144:7-8. The language is here repeated. The prayer had been interrupted by the thought that the answer to it would lay the foundation for praise, and by an acknowledgment of entire dependence on God. The psalmist now, after repeating the prayer, suggests what would result from the answer to it, and dwells on the happy consequences which must follow; the bright scenes in his own reign, in the prosperity of the people, in the happiness of the nation, in domestic comforts, and in the abundance which the land would produce when these dangers should pass away, when people now engaged in the conflict of arms might return to the peaceful pursuits of life, when families would be safe in their dwellings, and when the earth cultivated in time of peace would again produce abundance, Psalms 144:12-14.
