Psalms 144:5-8 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

In every sense this prayer is striking, and beautiful in whatever sense it be considered; whether as the prayer of the church for the Lord to come down in the power of the Spirit, to bruise Satan, and sin, and the world, under the feet of his people; or as the earnest longing and hope of the church, for the Lord Jesus's second coming, without sin, unto salvation.

Psalms 144:5-8

5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
