Psalm 109:27 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:27

That they may know that this is thy hand
Which inflicted vengeance, and executed judgments on Judas and the Jews, as before imprecated: so the Targum,

``that they may know that this is thy stroke;''

or which was concerned in all the sorrows and sufferings of the Messiah, which could never have come upon him had it not been the will of God; it was his hand and council that determined it, or men could never have effected it; see ( Acts 4:28 ) ( John 19:11 ) , or which wrought deliverance and salvation as before prayed for; see ( Psalms 118:21-23 ) .

That thou, Lord, hast done it:
one or other, or all the above things; the finger of God was to be seen in them; particularly in the sufferings of Christ, and in his exaltation; see ( Acts 2:23 ) ( 5:31 ) .

Psalm 109:27 In-Context

25 Und ich, ich bin ihnen zum Hohn geworden; wenn sie mich sehen, schütteln sie ihren Kopf.
26 Hilf mir, Jehova, mein Gott! Rette mich nach deiner Güte!
27 Damit sie wissen, daß dies deine Hand ist, daß 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 Laß meine Widersacher bekleidet werden mit Schande, und in ihre Schmach sich hüllen wie in einen Mantel!
