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 My enemies insult me; they look at me and shake their heads.

26 Lord my God, help me; because you are loving, save me.

27 Then they will know that your power has done this; they will know that you have done it, Lord.

28 They may curse me, but you bless me. They may attack me, but they will be disgraced. Then I, your servant, will be glad.

29 Let those who accuse me be disgraced and covered with shame like a coat.
