Psalm 109:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:22

For I am poor and needy
As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; see ( 2 Corinthians 8:9 ) . It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; see ( Psalms 40:17 ) .

And my heart is wounded within me;
with the sins of his people on him, with a sense of divine wrath, and when under divine desertions, especially when his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death, ( Matthew 26:38 ) ( Psalms 40:12 ) .

Psalm 109:22 In-Context

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.

24 Le mie ginocchia vacillano per i miei digiuni, e la mia carne deperisce e dimagra.
