Psalms 109:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 109:21

19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.

20 Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.

21 But You, O GOD the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

22 For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am gone ^alike a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My ^aknees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

25 I also have become ^aa reproach to them;
When they look at me, ^bthey shake their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

27 ^aThat they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, Lord, have done it!

28 ^aLet them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let ^bYour servant rejoice.

29 ^aLet my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;
Yes, ^aI will praise Him among the multitude.

31 For ^aHe shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those¹ who condemn him.
