Psalms 109:20

20 That's what they'll get, those out to get me - an avalanche of just deserts from God.

Psalms 109:20 Meaning and 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 ) ( 8:44 ) 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; in order to take it away, as did the false witnesses that rose up against him, and the Jews who charged him with sedition and blasphemy.

Psalms 109:20 In-Context

18 He dressed up in curses like a fine suit of clothes; he drank curses, took his baths in curses.
19 So give him a gift - a costume of curses; he can wear curses every day of the week!
20 That's what they'll get, those out to get me - an avalanche of just deserts from God.
21 Oh, God, my Lord, step in; work a miracle for me - you can do it! Get me out of here - your love is so great! -
22 I'm at the end of my rope, my life in ruins.
