Psalm 109:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:26

Help me, O Lord my God
Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was promised him, he expected it, and he had it, ( Psalms 89:21 ) ( Isaiah 1:7 Isaiah 1:8 ) ( 49:8 ) .

O save me according to thy mercy;
or "kindness"; as before in ( Psalms 109:21 ) from sufferings, and out of them; from death and the grave, as he was; or his people by him, who are saved not by works of righteousness, but according to the mercy of God, ( Titus 3:5 ) .

Psalm 109:26 In-Context

24 Meine Kniee sind schwach von Fasten, und mein Fleisch ist mager und hat kein Fett.

25 Und ich muß ihr Spott sein; wenn sie mich sehen, schütteln sie ihren Kopf.

26 Stehe mir bei, HERR, mein Gott! hilf mir nach deiner Gnade,

27 daß sie innewerden, daß dies sei deine Hand, daß du, HERR, solches tust.

28 Fluchen sie, so segne du. Setzen sie sich wider mich, so sollen sie zu Schanden werden; aber dein Knecht müsse sich freuen.
