psalm-109:15-25

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

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 109:15

Let them be before the Lord continually ,.... And not cast behind his back, or into the depths of the sea, never to be seen more, as sins are when forgiven; but be always in sight, as loathsome and abominable, and causing those that committed them to be abhorred for them; and be before him, as a Judge, to examine them, the nature and kind of them, and to condemn and punish for them; see Exodus 20:5 . The Targum is, "let them be before the Word of the Lord always;' see Hebrews 4:13 . ... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:17

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him ,.... Judas loved that which brought a curse upon him, sin; and so he may be said to love the curse; just as sinners are said to love death, Proverbs 8:36 . He was desirous of and sought after it, to bring Christ to an accursed death; and which he accomplished and pleased himself with; and therefore it was a just retaliation upon him that the curse should light on him, and he himself come to a shameful and ignominious death. The Jews loved the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:18

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment ,.... He was full of it; his mouth was full of cursing and bitterness; it was visible in him, easy to be discerned; he took pride as well as pleasure in it, it was in his esteem an ornament to him, as his clothes were. The Syriac version renders it, "as armour"; as if it was a protection to him, or he thought it to be so. So let it come into his bowels like water ; the meaning is, let the wrath of God and the curse of the law... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:19

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him ,.... Let him be surrounded on all sides with the wrath of God; and let it be visible to all, as a man's garment on him is: see Isaiah 66:24 . And for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually ; let him be in the utmost straits and distress, being encompassed about with the curse and wrath of God; and let that stick close unto him as a man's belt does; and let him not be able to get clear of it, or extricate himself out of it, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:20

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord ,.... Who were so many Satans, as the word used signifies; and Judas particularly is called a devil; and of the same malevolent and diabolical disposition were the Jews in general, John 6:70 and what is before imprecated upon them is the just recompence of reward for their hatred to Christ and ill usage of him. And of them that speak evil against my soul ; or "life" F6 על נפשי "contra vitam meam", Gejerus. ; in order to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:21

But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake ,.... The sense of the petition is, and which is a prayer of Christ as man, that the Lord God would take his part, be on his side, be present with him, work with him, help and assist him, and that for his own honour and glory, for his truth and faithfulness sake, who had promised him help and assistance, Psalm 89:21 . Because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me ; or "thy kindness" F7 חסדך "benignitas tua", Musculus, Junius... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:22

For I am poor and needy ,.... As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; see 2 Corinthians 8:9 . It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; see Psalm 40:17 . And... read more
