Psalm 109:26 NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 109:21-31

David, having denounced God's wrath against his enemies, here takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner, and without boasting. I. He pours out his complaint before God concerning the low condition he was in, which, probably, gave advantage to his enemies to insult over him: ?I am poor and needy, and therefore a proper object of pity, and one that needs and craves thy help.? 1. He was troubled in mind (Ps. 109:22): My heart is wounded within me, not only broken with outward... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:26

Help me, O Lord my God ,.... Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:26

Verse 26 26Help me, O Jehovah! The prophet repeats his prayer, because the more we are assailed by the subtilty and deceit of Satan, the more necessary is it for us to strive more ardently, and display the greater boldness. We may, indeed, have the full assurance of God being propitious towards us, yet when he delays to manifest it, and when the ungodly slander us, it must be that various doubts which keep intruding themselves upon us arise in our minds. Hence, it is not without reason that... 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 psalmist now turns to God in prolonged prayer, setting forth his needs ( Psalms 109:22-25 ), and entreating for help ( Psalms 109:26 ), deliverance ( Psalms 109:21 ), blessing ( Psalms 109:28 ), and triumph over his enemies ( Psalms 109:29 ). read more
