Psalms 109:31 - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Bible Comments

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor,.... Of the Messiah, as in Psalms 109:22 at whose right hand the Lord was, to guide and direct, help and assist, protect and defend, Psalms 16:8, or of his people, who are poor in every sense; but the Lord is on their side, and is a present help in time of trouble, Psalms 46:1.

To save him from those that condemn his soul: the Messiah: from his judges, the high priest and Jewish sanhedrim, and Pilate the Roman governor, who condemned him to death; but he committed his spirit, or soul, to God, who received it, and raised his body from the dead; and would not suffer it to see corruption, as a testimony of his innocence: or the soul of the poor saints, which the Lord saves from the condemnation of sin, Satan, the law, and their own consciences, Romans 8:1.
