Psalms 109:16-20 - Exposition

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 ).
