Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord

Psalm 144:1-15
The Lord is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples and under me.
Human are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.
Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners.
Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
The king thanks God for victories won. What are we ‘mere mortals’ . That the great God should spare us so much as a passing though?
Yet time and again God comes to the rescue. The song closes with a prayer for peace and prosperity for the future generation; this may originally have been a separate psalm.
Why?
God is my hope, my savior, what ever He is my blessing.
Human life is really very light as dust. We are mere mortals. But God cares us, loves us, made us as his image.
How?
Give Praise to the Lord Almighty.
