They have spoken against me Hebrew, אתי , itti, to, or with me, as this particle commonly signifies; with a lying tongue With deep dissimulation, and professions of friendship and kindness: or, against me, with calumnies, or false and malicious... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

Psalms 109:0 Those who afflict othersDavid complains to God about the unjust attacks of his opponents and the false accusations they bring against him (1-3). He has no desire for personal revenge; rather he has shown love for his enemies and has prayed for them (4-5).Nevertheless, in the prayer that follows, David uses strong language as he pleads for justice to be done. With the cruelty of his enemies increasing, he hands the case over to God, the righteous judge, who will repay the wicked for... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 109:1-31

Psalms 109This individual lament is one of the imprecatory psalms in which the writer called on God to avenge his enemies (cf.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:1-31

The strongest of the imprecatory Pss. (see Intro.). Probably it is just to regard the Psalmist as speaking in the name of the whole nation, vexed and harried by foreign enemies, e.g. Antiochus Epiphanes. The theory that the Psalmist recounts the curses used against him by his enemies is untenable. Calvin notes the awful use of this Ps. by certain monks, who hired themselves out to recite it against private enemies.6. Satan] RV ’an adversary.’ The word has both meanings in Hebrew. Satan was the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 109:1-31

An Imprecatory Psalm Psalms 109:7 It is not too much to say that, save in the Athanasian Creed itself, nowhere have Christian people found more widespread spiritual difficulty than in what are commonly known as the Imprecatory Psalms, and even among these none is equal to the Psalm whence the text is taken. How are we to understand them; how, especially when we are told to forgive as we would be forgiven, can we, in Christian churches, take them on our lips? The explanations are various.... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

Psalms 109:1-31THIS is the last and the most terrible of the imprecatory psalms. Its central portion (Psalms 109:6-20) consists of a series of wishes, addressed to God, for the heaping of all miseries on the heads of one "adversary" and of all his kith and kin. These maledictions are enclosed in prayers, which make the most striking contrast to them; Psalms 109:1-5 being the plaint of a loving soul, shrinkingly conscious of an atmosphere of hatred, and appealing gently to God; while Psalms... read more

Psalm 109-113 Psalms 109:0 Christ in Humiliation 1. Despised and rejected (Psalms 109:1-5 ) 2. The rejectors and their fate (Psalms 109:6-20 ) 3. The Christ in His sorrow (Psalms 109:21-25 ) The five Psalms which are next grouped together belong to the most interesting in the whole collection. They give a marvellous prophecy concerning Christ, His rejection, exaltation and coming glory. In Psalms 109:1-31 we see Him rejected. In Psalms 110:1-7 He is at the Right hand of God, waiting... read more
