Psalms 109:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:15

Let them be before the Lord continually
And not cast behind his back, or into the depths of the sea, never to be seen more, as sins are when forgiven; but be always in sight, as loathsome and abominable, and causing those that committed them to be abhorred for them; and be before him, as a Judge, to examine them, the nature and kind of them, and to condemn and punish for them; see ( Exodus 20:5 ) . The Targum is,

``let them be before the Word of the Lord always;''

see ( Hebrews 4:13 ) .

That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
so that they may not be remembered with any applause, or their name spoken of with any commendation; see ( Job 18:17 ) .

Psalms 109:15 In-Context

13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.

15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
