Psalms 102:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Mine enemies reproach me all the day This my misery hath exposed me to the scorn of mine enemies, who do nothing but upbraid me with my calamities. And they that are mad against me Or, my slanderers, as Dr. Waterland renders, מהוללי, moholalai, are sworn against me, Or, they swear by me. They make use of my name and misery, in their forms of swearing and imprecation; for when they would express their malicious and mischievous intentions against any one, they swear they will make him as miserable as a Jew. Or, their form of swearing is this, “If we break our oaths, may the gods pour down their vengeance upon us, and make us as miserable as this captive Jew.”

Psalms 102:8

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
