Commentary on Psalms 109:5

Theological / Devotional

For my love. The kindness of the psalmist to his enemies was required by more severe hatred on their part. The greatest demonstration of love toward enemies was seen in Christ, the Son of God (see Rom. 5:7–10). There never was love manifested like His. Despite the manifestation of this love He was betrayed and crucified. Yet in His dying agony His love for His enemies lost none of its ardor as He prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).
