1091 O God of my praise , Do not be silent ! 2 For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue . 3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred , And fought against me without cause . 4 In return for my love they act as my accusers ; But I am in prayer . 5 Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love .
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.
