Psalm 109:8-18

Listen to Psalm 109:8-18
8 Sean pocos sus d铆as, y que otro tome su cargo;
9 sean hu茅rfanos sus hijos, y viuda su mujer;
10 vaguen errantes sus hijos, y mendiguen, y busquen el sustento lejos de sus hogares en ruinas.
11 Que el acreedor se apodere de todo lo que tiene, y extra帽os saqueen el fruto de su trabajo.
12 Que no haya quien le extienda misericordia, ni haya quien se apiade de sus hu茅rfanos;
13 sea exterminada su posteridad, su nombre sea borrado en la siguiente generaci贸n.
14 Sea recordada ante el SE脩OR la iniquidad de sus padres, y no sea borrado el pecado de su madre.
15 Est茅n continuamente delante del SE脩OR, para que El corte de la tierra su memoria;
16 porque 茅l no se acord贸 de mostrar misericordia, sino que persigui贸 al afligido, al necesitado y al de coraz贸n deca铆do para matarlos.
17 Tambi茅n amaba la maldici贸n, y 茅sta vino sobre 茅l; no se deleit贸 en la bendici贸n, y ella se alej贸 de 茅l.
18 Se visti贸 de maldici贸n como si fuera su manto, y entr贸 como agua en su cuerpo, y como aceite en sus huesos.

Psalm 109:8-18 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.
