Psalms 109:23 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth - (Psalms 102:11, note.)

I am tossed up and down as the locust - or, 'I am swept away (cast out) as the locust.' The wind irresistibly sweeps away the hordes of locusts, so as to leave not one behind (Exodus 10:19; Joel 2:20; Nahum 3:17).
