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 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.
29 Meine Widersacher müssen mit Schmach angezogen werden und mit ihrer Schande bekleidet werden wie ein Rock.
