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 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, Like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, For the belt that is always around him.

20 This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, Of those who speak evil against my soul.

21 But deal with me, the LORD the Lord, for your name's sake, Because your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

22 For I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
