Psalms 144:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 144:11

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children
This is repeated from ( Psalms 144:7 Psalms 144:8 ) ; and is done to show the vehemency and importunity of the request, and the danger David was in, and his sense of it; (See Gill on Psalms 144:7); whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of
falsehood. (See Gill on Psalms 144:8).
