Psalm 109:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:13

Let his posterity be cut off
As the seed of the wicked are said to be, ( Psalms 37:28 ) , or cut down, as a tree to the very root; as the Jewish nation was by the axe of God's judgment, which, John says, was laid to the root of the tree, and the blow just going to be given, as it was in a few years after, ( Matthew 3:10 ) or, as the Targum,

``let his end be for destruction;''

and so the Syriac version, "let their end be for destruction"; their last end, which it is said shall be cut off, and issue in death, eternal death; when the end of a good man is peace and eternal life, see ( Psalms 37:37 Psalms 37:38 ) ( Romans 6:21 ) .

And in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
or, in another age ^F4; the next age, the third generation; meaning the name of the posterity of Judas, and the name of the people of the Jews, so as to be spoken of with honour and reputation; but, instead of that, they are for a taunt, a proverb, and a curse, in all places.

Psalm 109:13 In-Context

11 Der Wucherer umgarne alles, was er hat, und Fremde mögen rauben seine Arbeit!

12 Er habe niemand, der ihm Güte bewahre, und es sei niemand, der seinen Waisen gnädig sei!

13 Seine Nachkommen mögen ausgerottet werden; im folgenden Geschlecht erlösche ihr Name!

14 Gedacht werde vor Jehova der Ungerechtigkeit seiner Väter, und nicht werde ausgelöscht die Sünde seiner Mutter!

15 Sie seien beständig vor Jehova, und er rotte ihr Gedächtnis aus von der Erde!
