Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 144

"Psalm 144:
This royal psalm appears to be a compilation from other psalms (8, 18, 33, 102 – 104; but mainly Psalm 18).

I. God’s Greatness 
(144:1-2);
II. Man’s Insignificance
(144:3-4);
III. God’s Power 
(144:5-8);
IV. Man’s Praise 
(144:9-10);
V. God’s Blessing 
(144:11-15).

Psalm 144:1 Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
Psalm 144:3 LORD, what [is] man, that Thou takest knowledge of him! [or] the son of man, that Thou makest account of him!
Psalm 144:4 Man is like to vanity: 
his days [are] as a shadow that passeth away.
Psalm 144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me
out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

Psalm 144:9 I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God: upon a psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee.
Psalm 144:15 Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD."
