The Psalmist or King David highlighted in Psalm 144:3-4 that our life is only a breath away; mankind should not be arrogant.
Breath of life is a gift from God. If you do not believe me, ask a COVID-19 patients who are on ventilators-Ed Tiong, 17-10-2020.
King David also praise God as his rock of life in Psalm 144:1, his deliverer (vs 7, 11), his refuge and so on. He loved to sing songs of praise (vs 9) to God. He is constantly in touch with God through his prayers.
David gave insights of some of God’s blessings of God in Psalm 144:12-15.
Psalms 144:1-15
[1]Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.
[2]He is my protector and defender, my shelter and saviour, in whom I trust for safety. He subdues the nations under me.
[3]Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them; mere mortals, that you pay attention to them?
[4]They are like a puff of wind; their days are like a passing shadow.
[5]O Lord, tear the sky apart and come down; touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
[6]Send flashes of lightning and scatter your enemies; shoot your arrows and send them running.
[7]Reach down from above, pull me out of the deep water, and rescue me; save me from the power of foreigners,
[8]who never tell the truth and lie even under oath.
[9]I will sing you a new song, O God; I will play the harp and sing to you.
[10]You give victory to kings and rescue your servant David.
[11]Save me from my cruel enemies; rescue me from the power of foreigners, who never tell the truth and lie even under oath.
[12]May our sons in their youth be like plants that grow up strong. May our daughters be like stately pillars which adorn the corners of a palace.
[13]May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the sheep in our fields bear young by the tens of thousands.
[14]May our cattle reproduce plentifully without miscarriage or loss. May there be no cries of distress in our streets.
[15]Happy is the nation of whom this is true; happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
