Psalm 144

I wonder if David was king when he penned this song? If he sang it in his courtroom were there looks of shock on their faces? King David, the mighty warrior and righteous judge referred to himself as a servant (vs 10). Did the queen recoil as these words were sung? David had a firm grasp on the truth that he was only a pawn in God's chess game. But he was pleased to hold such a lowly position.
