Commentary on Psalms 109:7

Theological / Devotional

Let his prayer become sin. Literally, “his prayer shall become sin.” The verb here used is a simple future, as distinguished from the form specifying a wish. The prayer of the wicked does not proceed from true penitence, but from sorrow for the results of the sin. Such prayers God cannot accept (see Prov. 28:9; Isa. 1:15).
