Wesley's Notes

109:4 Adversaries - They requite my love with enmity, as it is explained ver.5.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4, 5. They return evil for good (compare Ps 27:12; Pr 17:13).

I give myself unto prayer-or literally, "I (am) prayer," or, "as for me, prayer," that is, it is my resource for comfort in distress.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

109:1-5. It is the unspeakable comfort of all believers, that whoever is against them, God is for them; and to him they may apply as to one pleased to concern himself for them. David's enemies laughed at him for his devotion, but they could not laugh him out of it.


Psalm 38:20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
Psalm 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.
Psalm 141:5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds. (NASB ©1995)
