Psalms 44:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:16

For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth
That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; see ( Revelation 13:5 Revelation 13:6 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ) ; by reason of the enemy and avenger;
which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, ( Psalms 8:2 ) .

Psalms 44:16 In-Context

14 You've made us a bad joke to the nations, something to be laughed at by all peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace confronts me, and shame covers my face
16 because of the voices of those who make fun of me and bad-mouth me, because of the enemy who is out for revenge.
17 All this has come upon us, but we haven't forgotten you or broken your covenant.
18 Our hearts haven't turned away, neither have our steps strayed from your way.
