Commentary on Psalms 35:19

Theological / Devotional

Without a cause. Throughout the psalm the writer protests his complete innocence. Some think this is the phrase to which Jesus referred when He said, “They hated me without a cause” (John 15:25). However, the same thought occurs again in Ps. 69:4. Since Ps. 35 is not strictly Messianic, and Ps. 69 is clearly so, it may be more logical to assume that Jesus was referring to the latter.
