Psalms 144:12

"Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks to the need for divine rescue from those who are deceptive and untrustworthy. It highlights the contrast between false allies and the faithful protection offered by God, emphasizing the importance of trusting in Him rather than in those who speak with treachery.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth -That our sons - not called forth to the hardships of the tent and the field, the perils and the exposures of war - may grow up under the culture of home, of the family, in quiet scenes, as plants carefully cultivated and flourishing. ComparePsalms 128:3. The Hebrew here is, “grown large in their youth;” not “grown up,” which has a paradoxical appearance. The meaning is, that they may be stout, strong, vigorous, well-formed, even in early life; that they may not be stunted in their growth, but be of full and manly proportions.
