Psalm 109:24-31

Listen to Psalm 109:24-31
24 Meine Knie wanken vom Fasten, und mein Fleisch ist abgemagert.
25 Und ich, ich bin ihnen zum Hohn geworden; wenn sie mich sehen, schĂĽtteln sie ihren Kopf.
26 Hilf mir, Jehova, mein Gott! Rette mich nach deiner GĂĽte!
27 Damit sie wissen, daĂź dies deine Hand ist, daĂź du, Jehova, es getan hast.
28 Mögen sie fluchen, du aber segne! Stehen sie auf, so laß sie beschämt werden, und deinen Knecht sich freuen!
29 LaĂź meine Widersacher bekleidet werden mit Schande, und in ihre Schmach sich hĂĽllen wie in einen Mantel!
30 Ich werde Jehova sehr preisen mit meinem Munde, und inmitten vieler werde ich ihn loben.
31 Denn er stand zur Rechten des Armen, um ihn zu retten von denen, die seine Seele richteten.

Psalm 109:24-31 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. This psalm was written by David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, concerning Judas the betrayer of Christ, as is certain from Acts 1:16 hence it is used to be called by the ancients the Iscariotic psalm. Whether the occasion of it was the rebellion of Absalom, as some, or the persecution of Saul, as Kimchi; and whoever David might have in view particularly, whether Ahithophel, or Doeg the Edomite, as is most likely; yet it is evident that the Holy Ghost foresaw the sin of Judas, and prophesies of that, and of the ruin and misery that should come upon him; for the imprecations in this psalm are no other than predictions of future events, and so are not to be drawn into an example by men; nor do they breathe out anything contrary to the spirit of Christianity, but are proofs of it, since what is here predicted has been exactly accomplished. The title in the Syriac version is, "a psalm of David when they created Absalom king without his knowledge, and for this cause he was slain; but to us it expounds the sufferings of the Christ of God;" and indeed he is the person that is all along speaking in this psalm.
