Psalms 109:21 - Exposition

But do thou for me ; or, "deal thou with me" (see the Revised Version). O God the Lord ; literally, Jehovah the Lord, as in Psalms 68:20 ; Psalms 140:7 ; Psalms 141:8 ; Habakkuk 3:19 . For thy Name's sake ; i.e. suitably to thy Name—according to thy historically manifested attributes. Because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. A variant echo of the preceding clause (comp. Psalms 69:16 ).
