Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 144:2

2 My goodness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield, and he i[illegible: 1+ letters] whom I trust: who subdueth my people under me .

Or, my mercy: or, the God of my mercy, as God is called Psal. 59. 10, 17. the Name of God being ea[illegible: 1+ letters]ily understood from the foregoing verse. Or, he who is exceeding good or merciful to me, as good as goodness it sel[illegible: 1+ letters]: the abstract being put for the concrete, as it is frequently in speeches of God, who is called wisdom, Truth, Goodness, &c. and sometimes of men, as Psal. 12. 2. Prov. 10. 29. where faithfulness and uprightness are put for faithful and upright men.

Who hast disposed my peoples hearts to receive and obey me as their King.
