Psalm 109:11-14 BSB

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:11

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath ,.... Or, "lay a snare for all" F3 ינקש "illaqueet", Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus, Piscator, Gejerus; "iretiat", Vatablus, Michaelis. ; as the Romans did, by bringing in their army, invading the land of Judea, and besieging the city of Jerusalem; who are "the extortioner or exacter that demanded tribute of them"; which they refused to pay, and therefore they seized on all they had for it. The Syriac and Arabic versions render it, "the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:12

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him ,.... No pity is ever expressed at hearing or reading the sad case of Judas; and though the Jews were pitied of those that carried them captive to Babylon, Psalm 106:46 , yet, in their last destruction by the Romans, no mercy was shown them; the wrath of God and man came upon them to the uttermost, 1 Thessalonians 2:16 . Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children : to bestow any benefit upon them; to relieve their wants, nor... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:13

Let his posterity be cut off ,.... As the seed of the wicked are said to be, Psalm 37:28 , or cut down, as a tree to the very root; as the Jewish nation was by the axe of God's judgment, which, John says, was laid to the root of the tree, and the blow just going to be given, as it was in a few years after, Matthew 3:10 or, as the Targum, "let his end be for destruction;' and so the Syriac version, "let their end be for destruction"; their last end, which it is said shall be cut off,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 109:14

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord ,.... Not of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; who, though they had their failings, they were not remembered, and much less punished in their posterity, but were forgiven: rather of the Amorites and Hittites; the one being said to be the father, and the other the mother, of the Jews, Ezekiel 16:3 , they succeeding them in their land, and imitating their example, and committing the same sins they did: or rather of their wicked ancestors,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:11

Let the strangers spoil his labor - Many of these execrations were literally fulfilled in the case of the miserable Jews, after the death of our Lord. They were not only expelled from their own country, after the destruction of Jerusalem, but they were prohibited from returning; and so taxed by the Roman government, that they were reduced to the lowest degree of poverty. Domitian expelled them from Rome; and they were obliged to take up their habitation without the gate Capena, in a wood... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:13

Let his posterity be cut off - It is a fact that the distinction among the Jewish tribes in entirely lost. Not a Jew in the world knows from what tribe he is sprung; and as to the royal family, it remains nowhere but in the person of Jesus the Messiah. He alone is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Except as it exists in him, the name is blotted out. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:12

Verse 12 12Let there be none prolonging mercy to him. To continue to show humanity and mercy is, according to the Hebrew idiom, equivalent to constant and successive acts of kindness; and it also sometimes denotes pity, or the being moved to sympathy, when, through the lapse of years, anger is appeased, and even one’s calamity melts the heart of the man who bore hatred towards him. (309) Accordingly, there are some who understand this clause to mean, that there will be none to show kindness to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:13

Verse 13 13.Let his posterity be cut off. This is a continuation of the same subject, upon the consideration of which the prophet had just now entered, that God would visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children. And as he had to deal with the whole court of Saul, and not with any single individual, he here employs the plural number. But as in deeds of wickedness, there are always some who are the prime movers, and act as the ringleaders of others, we need not be surprised that... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 109:14

Verse 14 And as the destruction which he denounces against the houses and families of the wicked is so extensive, that God punishes them in the person of their posterity, so he desires that God may remember the iniquities of their fathers and mothers, in order that their condemnation may be complete; and this is a principle in perfect accordance with the commonly received doctrine of Scripture. God, out of regard to his covenant, which is in force to a thousand generations, extends and... read more
