Psalms 109:27 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:27

That they may know that this is thy hand
Which inflicted vengeance, and executed judgments on Judas and the Jews, as before imprecated: so the Targum,

``that they may know that this is thy stroke;''

or which was concerned in all the sorrows and sufferings of the Messiah, which could never have come upon him had it not been the will of God; it was his hand and council that determined it, or men could never have effected it; see ( Acts 4:28 ) ( John 19:11 ) , or which wrought deliverance and salvation as before prayed for; see ( Psalms 118:21-23 ) .

That thou, Lord, hast done it:
one or other, or all the above things; the finger of God was to be seen in them; particularly in the sufferings of Christ, and in his exaltation; see ( Acts 2:23 ) ( 5:31 ) .

Psalms 109:27 In-Context

25 Those who bring charges against me laugh at me. When they see me, they shake their heads at me.

26 LORD my God, help me. Save me because you love me.

27 Lord, let my enemies know that you yourself have saved me. You have done it with your own hand.

28 They may call down a curse on me. But you will give me your blessing. When they attack me, they will be put to shame. But I will be filled with joy.

29 Those who bring charges against me will be clothed with dishonor. They will be wrapped in shame as if it were a coat.
