This Psalm is fre quently quoted in the New Testament. The experience of the psalmist, which is graphically described herein, is frequently referred to as typical of the sufferings of Jesus, and the causeless hatred of the Jews. Compare v. 4 with John 15:25. The zeal of Jesus is typified in v. 9, as 9 8 'I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien untop John 2:17. shown in John 2:17. The rest of this my mother's children. verse is applied by Paul to Jesus (see Romans 15:3). Verse 25 seems to have been combined with Psalm 109:8 in traltor. Verses 22, 23 are applied by q Jesus, zenlof, typified, Matt. 1:21. 9 For "the zeal of thine house Rom. 15:3. hath eaten me up; and 'the re Acts 1:20 describing the doom of the apostate Israel. ings of the psalmist described in v. 21 foreshadow the sufferings of Jesus (see John 19:25). While Matthew does not quote this verse, it seems to have been in his mind (see Matt. 27:34, 48) as de scriptive of the sufferings of Jesus. Verses 12, 20 are descriptive of the mockery endured by the psalmist, which prefigures the mockery of the Savior de scribed in Matt. 27:27. Verse 26, in the light of Isa. 53 and Zech. 13:7, foreshadows the sufferings of the Savior. The Psalm cannot be interpreted as wholly Messianic, for the almost shock Ing Imprecations against the psalmist's enemies, as for instance, vs. 22-25, 27, 28, are inconsistent with the meekness of Jesus, who, while "He was reviled, reviled not again" (1 Pet. 2:23). Nevertheless, it must be recognized that the strong similitudes in the persecutions endured by the psalmist foreshadow the sufferings of the Savior of men. 2 'I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 3 'I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4 "They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine "enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I tonin, Acts 6:4. restored that which I took not À Enemy, Prov. 24:17.
