Psalms 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 ) .

Psalms 109:21 In-Context

19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and as a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do Thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for Thy name's sake; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth; I am tossed up and down as the locust.
