David complains of his slanderous enemies16. He shows their sin 21. Complaining of his own misery, he prays for help 29. He promises thankfulness May it be like a robe The imagery of a "robe" in this verse is significant in biblical literature. In ancient times, a robe was not merely a piece of clothing but a symbol of one's status, identity, and authority. The Hebrew word for robe, "me'il," often denotes a garment of distinction. In the context of Psalm 109, the robe represents the curses and judgments that the psalmist, David, calls upon his adversaries. The robe, being an outer garment, signifies that these curses are to be visible and evident to all, enveloping the individual completely. This imagery is reminiscent of how righteousness is described as a garment in Isaiah 61:10, but here, it is the antithesis—an enveloping of judgment rather than blessing. wrapped about him like a belt tied forever around him Parallel Commentaries ...
