Salmi 109:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:21

But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake
The sense of the petition is, and which is a prayer of Christ as man, that the Lord God would take his part, be on his side, be present with him, work with him, help and assist him, and that for his own honour and glory, for his truth and faithfulness sake, who had promised him help and assistance, ( Psalms 89:21-23 Psalms 89:34 ) .

Because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me;
or "thy kindness" ^F7; meaning the lovingkindness of God to Christ, which he always bore to him, and was eminently and superlatively good; which he makes use of as an argument for his deliverance out of all his troubles, and from death itself; see ( Psalms 69:14 Psalms 69:16 ) .

Salmi 109:21 In-Context

19 Siagli essa come un vestito di cui si cuopra, come una cintura di cui sia sempre cinto!

20 Tal sia, da parte dell’Eterno, la ricompensa dei miei avversari, e di quelli che proferiscono del male contro l’anima mia.

21 Ma tu, o Eterno, o Signore, opera in mio favore, per amor del tuo nome; poiché la tua misericordia è buona, liberami,

22 perché io son misero e povero, e il mio cuore è piagato dentro di me.

23 Io me ne vo come l’ombra quando s’allunga, sono cacciato via come la locusta.
