Psalms 35:22-28 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Christ is frequently in scripture represented as longing for the year of his redeemed, before his coming; and both Christ and the Church longing also for his second coming to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe. In that day he will root out of his kingdom all things that offend; and songs of everlasting salvation and joy will then be heard among all his redeemed in glory.

Psalms 35:22-28

22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah,i so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
