Psalm 35 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Resources » Commentaries » Psalm » Chapter 35 » exegesis

He complains of his enemies.

Call a man ungrateful, and you can call him no worse: this was the character of David's enemies. Herein he was a type of Christ. David shows how tenderly he had behaved towards them in afflictions. We ought to mourn for the sins of those who do not mourn for themselves. We shall not lose by the good offices we do to any, how ungrateful soever they may be. Let us learn to possess our souls in patience and meekness like David, or rather after Christ's example.

(Ps 35:17-28)
