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 Since he wore curses like a coat, let them seep inside him like water, seep into his bones like oil!

19 Let them be like the clothes he wears, like a belt that is always around him."

20 But let all that be the reward my accusers get from the LORD, the reward for those who speak evil against me!

21 But you, LORD, my Lord!— act on my behalf for the sake of your name; deliver me because your faithful love is so good;

22 because I am poor and needy, and my heart is broken.
