Psalms 108:22-31

22 quia egenus et pauper ego sum et cor meum turbatum est intra me

23 sicut umbra cum declinat ablatus sum excussus sum sicut lucustae

24 genua mea infirmata sunt a ieiunio et caro mea inmutata est propter oleum

25 et ego factus sum obprobrium illis viderunt me moverunt capita sua

26 adiuva me Domine Deus meus salvum fac me secundum misericordiam tuam

27 et sciant quia manus tua haec tu Domine fecisti eam

28 maledicent illi et tu benedices qui insurgunt in me confundantur servus autem tuus laetabitur

29 induantur qui detrahunt mihi pudore et operiantur sicut deploide confusione sua

30 confitebor Domino nimis in ore meo et in medio multorum laudabo eum

31 quia adstetit a dextris pauperis ut salvam faceret a persequentibus animam meam

Psalms 108:22-31 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 108

\\<>\\. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is, ``concerning the calling of the Gentiles,'' to which, no doubt, it has respect.
