Psalms 69:22 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Let their table, &c.— Their table shall be for a snare before them, and their peace-offerings for a trap. This and the following verses are to be understood in the future tense, by way of prediction, and not of imprecation. The meaning of the whole verse is this, "The oblations and prayers of those who have dealt thus barbarously. with me, shall be so far from pacifying God, or being accepted by him, that like the offerings to false gods, styled the preparing a table, &c. Isaiah 65:11 they shall provoke God, and turn to their mischief." See Romans 11:9. The 25th verse had a most eminent completion in the final destruction of the Jewish state and nation.
