Psalms 44:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:16

For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth
That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; see ( Revelation 13:5 Revelation 13:6 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ) ; by reason of the enemy and avenger;
which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, ( Psalms 8:2 ) .

Psalms 44:16 In-Context

14 Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.
16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
17 All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
18 We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.
