Psalm 109:3

3 y con palabras de odio me rodearon; y pelearon contra mí sin causa.

Psalm 109:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:3

They compassed me about also with words of hatred
They surrounded him as he hung on the cross, and expressed their malice and hatred against him; then was he enclosed with these spiteful snarling dogs, and encompassed by them as with so many bees, who everyone left their sting in him, ( Psalms 22:16 ) ( 118:12 ) .

And fought against me without a cause:
they were of an hostile spirit, enemies and enmity itself against him; fought against him both with words and blows, with their tongues and with their fists; sought his life, and at length took it away; he was attacked by the body of the Jewish nation, and by the whole posse of devils; and all this without any cause or just reason: he gave them no occasion for this enmity and malice, and opposition to him; and it was in the issue without effect, it was in vain and to no purpose; for though they gained their point in putting him to death, yet he rose again a triumphant Conqueror over them all.

Psalm 109:3 In-Context

1 Al Vencedor: de David: Salmo. Oh Dios de mi alabanza, no calles;

2 porque boca de impío y boca de engañador se han abierto sobre mí; han hablado de mí con lengua mentirosa,

3 y con palabras de odio me rodearon; y pelearon contra mí sin causa.

4 En pago de mi amor me han sido adversarios; mas yo oraba.

5 Y pusieron contra mí mal por bien, y odio por mi amor.
