Psalms 109:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:12

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him
No pity is ever expressed at hearing or reading the sad case of Judas; and though the Jews were pitied of those that carried them captive to Babylon, ( Psalms 106:46 ) , yet, in their last destruction by the Romans, no mercy was shown them; the wrath of God and man came upon them to the uttermost, ( 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) .

Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children:
to bestow any benefit upon them; to relieve their wants, nor to protect their persons; no more respect shown them than to their father, being shunned and hated for their father's sake.
