Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,.... This is repeated from Psa 144:7; and is done to show the vehemency and importunity of the request, and the danger David was in, and his sense of it; See Gill on Psa 144:7; whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. See Gill on Psa 144:8.

The Treasury of David, Vol. 7 (1885)

Because of what the Lord had done, David returns to his pleading. He begs deliverance from him who is ever delivering him. Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children. This is in measure the refrain of the song, and the burden of the prayer. He desired to be delivered from his open and foreign adversaries, who had broken compacts, and treated treaties as vain things. Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
