Psalms 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 ) .

Psalms 109:27 In-Context

25 I have become a reproach unto them; when they looked upon me they shook their heads.

26 Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to thy mercy,

27 that they may know that this is thy hand, that thou, O LORD, hast done it.

28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they arise, let them be ashamed, but let thy slave rejoice.

29 Let those who speak evil against me falsely be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a mantle.
