James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:1-13

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 108:1

CONTENTS This is a Psalm of praise. The sacred writer declares himself fixed and prepared, by the Holy Ghost to sing it. Happy the believing soul that finds itself in the same mood. A Song or psalm of David. Psalms 108:0 If the Reader will look back to Psalms 57:0 . he will find the concluding verses of that Psalm to be the same as the opening verses of this. And if he will turn to Psalms 60:0 , and read the last eight verses, he will perceive that they are similar to the last eight verses of... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:1

David. St. Peter attributes it to him, and gives us the key to this psalm, by applying (ver. 8.) to the traitor Judas, Acts i. 16, 20. (Berthier, T. vii.) --- Our Saviour seems to allude to it, when he styles Judas, the son of perdition, John xvii. 8. It may also have a reference to Doeg, or Achitophel, who were his forerunners. Ven. Bede thinks it was composed by the Machabees, against apostates. The Church used it in the deposition of bishops, and against usurpers of ecclesiastical goods:... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:2

Praise. Hebrew, "God of my praise," (Calmet) --- whom I always adore, under every dispensation of Providence. (Haydock) --- Yet the original may agree with the Vulgate, and Christ desires to be glorified, (John xii. 23., and xvii. 5.; Berthier) and styles his passion, his praise. (Theodoret) --- David appeals to God's judgment. (Calmet) --- Man. The Pharisees, &c., endeavoured to entangle Christ, Matthew xxii. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:3

Cause. Or provocation. (Haydock) --- So Catiline gratuito potius malus quam crudelis erat. (Sallust.) --- The sanctity of Jesus Christ could not be overwhelmed, or hidden, (Haydock) even with the torrent of abuse thrown upon him. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:4

Detracted. Hebrew and Septuagint, "calumniated," as [in] ver. 20., and 29. (Calmet) --- Prayer. Jesus Christ prayed for his enemies, (Luke xxiii. 34.; Flaminius) and did many good works for the benefit of all, John x. 32., and Acts x. 38. David had also signalized himself in the defence of his country, and yet was banished. He shews that he was animated with the perfect spirit of the gospel, though the law permitted retaliation, Exodus xxi. 24. (Calmet) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:6

Set thou the sinner over him, &c. Give to the devil, that arch-sinner, power over him: let him enter into him, and possess him. The imprecations contained in the thirty verses of this psalm, are opposed to the thirty pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed our Lord: and are to be taken as prophetic denunciations of the evils that should befall the traitor, and his accomplices, the Jews; and not properly as curses. (Challoner) --- The devil entered into Judas, (John xiii. 2.; Calmet) who... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:7

Prayer. Or may his supplication to judges for pardon irritate them, (Calmet) and let it not move God to mercy any more than a sin. (Menochius) --- God rejects such prayers as are destitute of the proper conditions, as he did those of Antiochus, (St. Augustine; Calmet) and they are a fresh sin. (Berthier) --- Yet the prayer of a sinner is not so, when he acts sincerely. (Haydock) read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 108:8

PSALM CVIII. (DEUS LAUDEM MEAM.) David, in the person of Christ, prayeth against his persecutors; more especially the traitor Judas; foretelling and approving his just punishment for his obstinacy in sin and final impenitence. Bishopric. Greek: Episkopen, "inspection or pre-eminence" of any kind. Judas lost his spiritual office, and the Jews all dominion in a very short time. St. Peter quotes this passage, [Acts i. 20.] and only the Socinians will assert that he does not adhere to the... read more
