Psalms 144:1-8

144:1

David <01732> [(Title.) A Psalm of David.]

Calmet and others think that this Psalm was composed by David after the death of Absalom; and from a collation of it with Ps 18, in which the same ideas and form of expression occur, there can be no doubt of both having proceeded from the same pen, and that David was the author.
