Psalms 109:12 - Exposition

Let there be none to extend (literally, continue ) mercy unto him. In his need, let none of his neighbors continue to show him mercy and loving-kindness. Let them stand aloof, and remain passive, while punishment overtakes him. Neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let them too be suffered to endure the woes which come naturally upon them (see Psalms 109:10 ) through their father's fault, without any one thinking it necessary, because they arc fatherless, to show them favor.
