poor and needy . broken in heart-that is, pious sufferer (Ps 34:18; 35:10; 40:17).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

109:6-20 The Lord Jesus may speak here as a Judge, denouncing sentence on some of his enemies, to warn others. When men reject the salvation of Christ, even their prayers are numbered among their sins. See what hurries some to shameful deaths, and brings the families and estates of others to ruin; makes them and theirs despicable and hateful, and brings poverty, shame, and misery upon their posterity: it is sin, that mischievous, destructive thing. And what will be the effect of the sentence, Go, ye cursed, upon the bodies and souls of the wicked! How it will affect the senses of the body, and the powers of the soul, with pain, anguish, horror, and despair! Think on these things, sinners, tremble and repent.


Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 37:14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.
Psalm 37:32 The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to kill him.
Psalm 94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. (NASB ©1995)
