Psalms 144:10
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:10. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings. Those whom the Lord sets up he will keep up. Kings, from their conspicuous position, are exposed to special danger, and when their lives and their thrones are preserved to them they should give the Lord the glory of it. David had by his valor wrought salvation for Israel, but he lays his laurels at the feet of his Lord.
Who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. He traces his escape from death to the delivering hand of God. Note, he speaks in the present tense, for this was an act which covered his whole life. He styles himself the Lord’s servant, accepting this as the highest tide he had attained or desired.
