Psalms 31:17,18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

If we consider the foregoing verses as referring to Christ and his enemies, how striking are these verses, if read with an eye to Judas and the foes of Christ. Acts 1:18. And may we not take the words still further as holding forth a sure prophecy, to all the enemies of Jesus and his church?

Psalms 31:17-18

17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silentb in the grave.

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievousc things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
