Psalms Chapter 109
Overview
Psa 109:1, David, complaining of his slanderous enemies, under the person of Judas devotes them; Psa 109:16, He shews their sin; Psa 109:21, Complaining of his own misery, he prays for help; Psa 109:29, He promises thankfulness.
am 2942, bc 1062 (Title), It is generally supposed that this Psalm was composed by David, when persecuted by Saul, who was rendered more implacable by the base and malicious calumnies of Doeg and others; though some are of opinion, that it was written when David fled from Absalom, and that Ahithophel, rather than Doeg, is the typical person against whom it is principally directed.

Set thou: Dr. Sykes, Michaelis, and others, contend that these imprecations are those of David's enemies against himself; and they would render, "Set, say they, a wicked," etc, but this is rendered highly improbable by the Psa 109:8 being applied by St. Peter to the traitor Judas, of whom David was certainly not a type. (See Psa 109:20.) Bp. Horsley and others, however, render the verbs in the future tense, the first verb alone being in the imperative; justly considering the Psalmist as merely uttering prophetic denunciations of God's displeasure against sinners.
