1091 My God, don't turn a deaf ear to my hallelujah prayer. 2 Liars are pouring out invective on me; Their lying tongues are like a pack of dogs out to get me, 3 barking their hate, nipping my heels - and for no reason! 4 I loved them and now they slander me - yes, me! - and treat my prayer like a crime; 5 They return my good with evil, they return my love with hate.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 109:1-5
Commentary on Psalm 109:1-5
(Read Psalm 109:1-5)
It is the unspeakable comfort of all believers, that whoever is against them, God is for them; and to him they may apply as to one pleased to concern himself for them. David's enemies laughed at him for his devotion, but they could not laugh him out of it.
