诗篇 109:16 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 109:6-20

David here fastens upon some one particular person that was worse than the rest of his enemies, and the ringleader of them, and in a devout and pious manner, not from a principle of malice and revenge, but in a holy zeal for God and against sin and with an eye to the enemies of Christ, particularly Judas who betrayed him, whose sin was greater than Pilate's that condemned him (John 19:11), he imprecates and predicts his destruction, foresees and pronounces him completely miserable, and such a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:16

Because that he remembered not to show mercy ,.... As Judas did not; neither to the poor, whom he cared not for, John 12:6 nor to Christ, whom he betrayed with a kiss to his enemies: nor had these words of Christ any effect upon him, to move his pity and compassion, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Matthew 26:49 nor did the Jews show mercy to him: they were a merciless and hardhearted people; though mercy was one of the weightier matters of the law, this they omitted, Matthew 23:23 ,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:16

Persecuted the poor and needy man - In the case of Jesus Christ all the dictates of justice and mercy were destroyed, and they persecuted this poor man unto death. They acted from a diabolical malice. On common principles, their opposition to Christ cannot be accounted for. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:16

Verse 16 16.Because he forgot to show mercy The prophet comes now to show that he had good reason for desiring such awful and direful calamities to be inflicted upon his enemies, whose thirst for cruelty was insatiable, and who were transported with rage, no less cruel than obstinate, against the afflicted and poor man, persecuting him with as little scruple as if they were attacking a dead dog. Even philosophers look upon cruelty, directed against the helpless and miserable, as an act worthy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

Explanation, warning, encouragement. This psalm of David contains— I. AN EXPLANATION TO BE SOUGHT . How came these strong imprecations to be used by the servant of the Lord? Are they worthy to find a place in the pages of Holy Scripture? Two things, at least, have to be considered in defense of them. 1. David identifies his own cause with that of God, and therefore his own enemies with God's. He is animated by the spirit which breathes in the words, "Do not I hate them... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

The dreadful psalm. It is by no means easy to imagine the whole nation of Israel singing such dreadful imprecations as those contained in Psalms 109:6-19 . "Thousands of God's people," says Mr. Spurgeon, "are perplexed by it." Not a few would like to be rid of it altogether. And the explanation given by many of the old commentators, that these fearful curses are those of the Lord Jesus Christ on Judas, who betrayed him, has only made the difficulties connected with this psalm ever so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 109:1-31

Awful Imprecations This is a psalm of the most awful imprecations, in which the writer unrestminedly pours forth the fiercest hatred of his enemy, and pleads with God to load him with the most dreadful curses. He justifies his vindictive spirit by pleading that his enemy had fought against him without a cause; had rewarded his good with evil, and his love with hatred. He says he will give himself unto prayer; but the words which follow breathe a spirit such as we wonder that a man dare... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 109:16

Because that he remembered not to show mercy . Saul certainly was a persecutor of this kind—implacable; one whom compassion never touched; who, after he had once become David's enemy, never under any circumstances showed him mercy. But otherwise the description scarcely seems to point to Saul. But persecuted the poor and needy man (see 1 Samuel 18:10 ; 1 Samuel 19:1 , 1 Samuel 19:10 , 1 Samuel 19:11 ; 1 Samuel 20:31 ; 1 Samuel 23:8 , 1 Samuel 23:14 , 1 Samuel 23:25 ; 1... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 109:16-20

A portraiture of the wicked man, who was David's chief adversary at the time, is now given, in explanation, and perhaps in justification, of the numerous and severe anathemas. He was merciless ( Psalms 109:16 ), a persecutor of the poor ( Psalms 109:16 ), given to cursing ( Psalms 109:17 , Psalms 109:18 ), and one who spoke evil against the innocent ( Psalms 109:20 ). read more
