Psalms 109

Introduction to chapter 109

The Psalmist celebrates God's gracious dealings with His people, of which a summary statement is given. (Psa 111:1-10)

Praise ye the Lord — or, Hallelujah (Psa 104:35). This seems to serve as a title to those of the later Psalms, which, like this, set forth God's gracious government and its blessed fruits. This praise claims the

whole heart — (Psa 86:12), and is rendered publicly.

upright — a title of the true Israel (Psa 32:11).
