John Gill Bible Commentary

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.
