Verse 10. That I may requite them. Either (1), kindness for injuries (as in Psalms 35:13 ): it is the mark of a good and brave man to do good to all in his power, to hurt no one, even though provoked by wrong: or, (2), punishment for wrong doing -- that I may punish them; for am I not their magistrate, and the executioner of God's justice! Martin Geier.
Verse 10. That I may requite them. David was not as one of the common people, but a king appointed by God and invested with authority, and it is not from an impulse of the flesh, but in virtue of the nature of his office, that he is led to denounce against his enemies the punishment which they had merited. John Calvin.
