Psalms 144:11
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
144:11. He begs deliverance from him who is ever delivering him.
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children. This is the refrain of the song, the burden of the prayer.
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a hand of falsehood. Those who are surrounded by such serpents know not how to deal with them, and the only available method seems to be prayer to God for a riddance and deliverance. David in verse 7, according to the original, had sought the help of both the Lord’s hands; his deceitful enemies, with remarkable unanimity, were with one mouth and one hand seeking his destruction.
