Psalms 144:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 144:7

5 ^aBow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
^bTouch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6 ^aFlash forth lightning and scatter them;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.

7 Stretch out Your hand from above;
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters,
From the hand of foreigners,

8 Whose mouth ^aspeaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will ^asing a new song to You, O God;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

10 The One who gives¹ salvation to kings,
^aWho delivers David His servant
From the deadly sword.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—

12 That our sons may be ^aas plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as¹ pillars,
Sculptured in palace style;

13 That our barns may be full,
Supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands
And ten thousands in our fields;

Psalm 144:7-11

So deliverance is in many ways similar to rescue, although the image of rescue often implies an immediate or impending danger, a perilous situation, or a desperate effort to save from harm. Deliverance also often involves individuals who are overwhelmed or unable to reach their destination on their own.
