Psalm 44:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:16

For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth
That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; see ( Revelation 13:5 Revelation 13:6 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ) ; by reason of the enemy and avenger;
which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, ( Psalms 8:2 ) .
