Wesley's Notes for Psalms 144:6

144:5 Come - To help me. Smoke - As Sinai did at thy glorious appearance, #Exod 19:18|. This is a figurative and poetical description of God's coming to take vengeance upon his enemies.

144:7 Strange children - Either of the Heathen nations: or of the rebellious Israelites.

144:8 Vanity - Vain brags and threatenings which shall come to nothing. Falsehood - Deceiving themselves, by being unable to do what they designed; and others, by not giving them that help which they promised.
