Psalms 108:1-9

1 in finem David psalmus

2 Deus laudem meam ne tacueris quia os peccatoris et os dolosi super me apertum est

3 locuti sunt adversum me lingua dolosa et sermonibus odii circuierunt me et expugnaverunt me gratis

4 pro eo ut me diligerent detrahebant mihi ego autem orabam

5 et posuerunt adversus me mala pro bonis et odium pro dilectione mea

6 constitue super eum peccatorem et diabulus stet a dextris eius

7 cum iudicatur exeat condemnatus et oratio eius fiat in peccatum

8 fiant dies eius pauci et episcopatum eius accipiat alter

9 fiant filii eius orfani et uxor eius vidua

Psalms 108:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 108

\\<>\\. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is, ``concerning the calling of the Gentiles,'' to which, no doubt, it has respect.
