In biblical context, the "hand" of God often symbolizes His power and authority (<a href="/exodus/15-6.htm">Exodus 15:6</a>, <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>). The psalmist seeks a clear demonstration of God's involvement, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms where God's actions are meant to be evident to all (<a href="/psalms/98.htm">Psalm 98:1</a>). Historically, the Israelites often attributed their victories and deliverances to God's direct action, reinforcing their covenant relationship with Him. This request for recognition can also be seen as a plea for vindication, where the psalmist desires that adversaries recognize God's justice and sovereignty.<p><b>that You, O LORD, have done it</b><br>The use of "O LORD" invokes the covenant name of God, Yahweh, highlighting a personal and relational aspect of God's involvement. This phrase underscores the belief in God's active role in the world, a central tenet of biblical theology. It reflects the understanding that all events, especially those involving deliverance or judgment, are under God's control (<a href="/isaiah/45-7.htm">Isaiah 45:7</a>). Theologically, this aligns with the doctrine of divine providence, where God is seen as the ultimate cause behind all occurrences. This acknowledgment of God's action is also prophetic, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God's plans through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the culmination of God's redemptive work (<a href="/john/19-30.htm">John 19:30</a>). The psalmist's plea for recognition of God's deeds can be seen as a type of Christ's own desire for the world to recognize the Father's work through Him (<a href="/john/17-4.htm">John 17:4</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/109.htm">Psalm 109</a>, David is expressing a plea for divine intervention against his adversaries.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies_of_david.htm">Enemies of David</a></b><br>The psalm is a cry for justice against those who have wronged David, representing the broader theme of the righteous seeking God's vindication.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure to whom David directs his plea, emphasizing God's sovereignty and justice.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/recognition_of_divine_sovereignty.htm">Recognition of Divine Sovereignty</a></b><br>Believers are encouraged to recognize and acknowledge God's hand in their lives, especially in times of adversity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_justice.htm">Trust in God's Justice</a></b><br>Like David, Christians are called to trust in God's justice rather than seeking personal vengeance.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/prayer_for_vindication.htm">Prayer for Vindication</a></b><br>It is appropriate to pray for God's intervention and vindication when facing unjust treatment, trusting that He will act according to His will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/witness_to_god's_work.htm">Witness to God's Work</a></b><br>When God acts, believers should testify to His work, giving Him glory and helping others see His hand in their lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>This verse encourages a posture of dependence on God, recognizing that true deliverance and justice come from Him alone.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_109.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 109</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_the_righteous_suffer.htm">If God wants to protect His people, why does He allow the righteous to suffer at the hands of the wicked?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_'i_shall_not_die'_deny_mortality.htm">(Psalm 118:17) Does the assertion 'I shall not die, but live' contradict mortality or promise an unrealistic divine protection?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_psalm_109_oppose_love_for_enemies.htm">If Jesus taught love for enemies (Matthew 5:44), why does Psalm 109 appear to endorse the exact opposite stance?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'seek_god's_kingdom'_mean.htm">What does 'Seek first the kingdom of God' mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/109.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 27.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">That they may know that this is thy hand</span> (comp. <a href="/psalms/59-13.htm">Psalm 59:13</a>).
