Barnes -> Psa 108:6
Barnes: Psa 108:6 - -- That thy beloved may be delivered - The word rendered "beloved,"and the verb rendered "may be delivered,"are both in the plural number, showing...
That thy beloved may be delivered - The word rendered "beloved,"and the verb rendered "may be delivered,"are both in the plural number, showing that it is not an individual that is referred to, but that the people of God are intended. This is taken without any alteration from Psa 60:5. In that psalm the prayer for deliverance is grounded on the afflictions of the people, and the fact that God had given them "a banner that it might be displayed because of the truth,"- or, in the cause of truth. See the notes at that psalm. In the psalm before us, while the prayer for deliverance is the same, the reason for that prayer is different. It is that God is exalted; that his mercy is above the heavens; that his glory is above all the earth, and that he is thus exalted that he may interpose and save his people.
Save with thy right hand, and answer me - The Hebrew here is the same as in Psa 60:5, where it is rendered "and hear me."
Haydock -> Psa 108:6
Haydock: Psa 108:6 - -- Set thou the sinner over him, &c. Give to the devil, that arch-sinner, power over him: let him enter into him, and possess him. The imprecations co...
Set thou the sinner over him, &c. Give to the devil, that arch-sinner, power over him: let him enter into him, and possess him. The imprecations contained in the thirty verses of this psalm, are opposed to the thirty pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed our Lord: and are to be taken as prophetic denunciations of the evils that should befall the traitor, and his accomplices, the Jews; and not properly as curses. (Challoner) ---
The devil entered into Judas, (John xiii. 2.; Calmet) who hung himself in despair. (Worthington) ---
The Jews were abandoned over to cruel masters, as Doeg and Achitophel presently perished, Psalm li. 5. It was customary at trials, for a satan, or "adversary," to be stationed at the right hand of the accused, Zacharias iii. 1. (Calmet)
Gill -> Psa 108:6-8
Gill: Psa 108:6-8 - -- That thy beloved may be delivered,.... From hence to the end of the psalm the words are taken out of Psa 60:5. See Gill on Psa 60:5.
