Ps 144 This lament begins with an exclamation of love for the Lord. The community then reflects on the transitory nature of life (144:3-4). The psalmist prays for divine intervention and anticipates victory (144:5-11). A new song (144:9-10) and a prayer for rescue (144:11) open up the theme of the Lord’s blessing through his provisions and protection (144:12-15).
Cause & come down & touch & make
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH bow heavens,your and,come_down touch in/on/at/with,mountains and,smoke )
These words should probably be translated as requests, not commands, since the psalmist knows that God is greater than he is.
Cause the sky to sink
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH bow heavens,your and,come_down touch in/on/at/with,mountains and,smoke )
This could mean: (1) tear the sky open or (2) bend the heavens like a tree branch bends when someone walks on it or as one bends a bow before shooting arrows.
