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

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 109:1-31

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

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

The first psalm in this lesson is one of the imprecatory or cursing psalms, in the interpretation of which we should keep in mind the principles already stated: (1) that the writer speaks as a prophet; (2) that the enemies are not merely personal to him but enemies of God; (3) that they are not individuals so much as nations; and (4) that they are considered at a time when the incorrigible condition has been reached, and they have become permanently fixed in opposition to the Most High. The... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 109:9-15

All these awful predictions, let the Reader remember, are spoken of a particular person, and that person, we have seen, is Judas. But that the Judas's of every age and generation are equally implicated, is evident, because his children, that is the followers of his principles, haters of Christ and his gospel, are said to be cut off, and their names blotted out. Hence it is worthy the Reader's observation, that what the apostle Peter quotes from a passage in Psalms 69:25 , in direct reference to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:8-31

21-31 The psalmist takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner. He was troubled in mind. His body was wasted, and almost worn away. But it is better to have leanness in the body, while the soul prospers and is in health, than to have leanness in the soul, while the body is feasted. He was ridiculed and reproached by his enemies. But if God bless us, we need not care who curses us; for how can they curse whom God has not cursed; nay, whom he has blessed? He pleads God's glory,... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 109:1-31

Lament of the Righteous Against Traitors and Enemies. To the chief musician, for use in the liturgical part of worship, a psalm of David, in which he indeed may have reference to conditions of his own time, in his relation to Doeg, to Ahithophel, or to Shimei, but which at the same time is prophetical and typical of the relation in which Christ stood to the Jews and especially to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him. This is evident from the remarks of Peter at the election of Matthias, Acts... read more

Psalms 109:0To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me;They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred;And fought against me without a cause.4 For my love they are my adversaries:But I give myself unto prayer.5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,And hatred for my love.6 Set thou a wicked man... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 109:1-16

the Persecutor of the Needy Psalms 109:1-16 This psalm is like a patch of the Sahara amid a smiling Eden. But, terrible as the words are, remember that they were written by the man who, on two occasions, spared the life of his persecutor, and who, when the field of Gilboa was wet with Saul’s life-blood, sang the loveliest of elegiacs to his memory. These maledictions do not express personal vindictiveness. Probably they should be read as depicting the doom of the wrong-doer. The Apostle,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 109:1-31

This is a psalm full of interest. The singer is in a place of terrible suffering due to the implacable hostility of his foes. The passage containing the imprecations (vv. Psa 109:6-19 ) contains the singer’s quotation of what his enemies say about him, rather than what he says about them. In a translation published by the Jewish Publication Society of America, that fact is clearly shown. They render verses Psa 109:5 and Psa 109:20 thus: “They repay me evil for good, And hatred for my love... read more
