Psalm 109:14

14 Gedacht werde vor Jehova der Ungerechtigkeit seiner Väter, und nicht werde ausgelöscht die Sünde seiner Mutter!

Psalm 109:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:14

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord,
&c.] Not of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; who, though they had their failings, they were not remembered, and much less punished in their posterity, but were forgiven: rather of the Amorites and Hittites; the one being said to be the father, and the other the mother, of the Jews, ( Ezekiel 16:3 ) , they succeeding them in their land, and imitating their example, and committing the same sins they did: or rather of their wicked ancestors, who killed the prophets; and the measure of whose sins Judas and the Jews filled up in crucifying Christ, see ( Matthew 23:31 Matthew 23:32 ) . The iniquity of these may be said to be remembered, it not being forgiven, when it was brought to account, and punished in their posterity, doing the same wicked actions; compare with this ( Revelation 16:19 ) ( 18:5 ) .

And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out:
or forgiven; but stand as a debt to be accounted for: meaning not the sin of his mother Eve, nor of his immediate parent; but either of the Hittite as before, or of the synagogue of the Jews, or Jerusalem, which killed the prophets of the Lord.

Psalm 109:14 In-Context

12 Er habe niemand, der ihm Güte bewahre, und es sei niemand, der seinen Waisen gnädig sei!

13 Seine Nachkommen mögen ausgerottet werden; im folgenden Geschlecht erlösche ihr Name!

14 Gedacht werde vor Jehova der Ungerechtigkeit seiner Väter, und nicht werde ausgelöscht die Sünde seiner Mutter!

15 Sie seien beständig vor Jehova, und er rotte ihr Gedächtnis aus von der Erde!

16 Darum daß er nicht gedachte, Güte zu üben, und verfolgte den elenden und armen Mann, und den, der verzagten Herzens war, um ihn zu töten.
