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 have made us a byword among the nations, a shaking of [the] head among [the] peoples.
15 {All day long} my disgrace [is] before me, and the shame of my face covers me,
16 because of [the] voice of [the] taunter and [the] reviler, because of [the] enemy and [the] avenger.
17 All this has befallen us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back, and our steps have [not] turned aside from your way.
