Psalmen 109:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:26

Help me, O Lord my God
Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was promised him, he expected it, and he had it, ( Psalms 89:21 ) ( Isaiah 1:7 Isaiah 1:8 ) ( 49:8 ) .

O save me according to thy mercy;
or "kindness"; as before in ( Psalms 109:21 ) from sufferings, and out of them; from death and the grave, as he was; or his people by him, who are saved not by works of righteousness, but according to the mercy of God, ( Titus 3:5 ) .

Psalmen 109:26 In-Context

24 Mijn knieen struikelen van vasten, en mijn vlees is vermagerd, zodat er geen vet aan is.

25 Nog ben ik hun een smaad; als zij mij zien, zo schudden zij hun hoofd.

26 Help mij, HEERE, mijn God! verlos mij naar Uw goedertierenheid.

27 Opdat zij weten, dat dit Uw hand is, dat Gij het, HEERE! gedaan hebt.

28 Laat hen vloeken, maar zegen Gij; laat hen zich opmaken, maar dat zij beschaamd worden; doch dat zich Uw knecht verblijde.
