14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!
14 But erect a memorial to the sin of his father, and make sure his mother's name is there, too -
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14 May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers; may his mother's sins never be erased from the record.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 109:14
Commentary on Psalm 109:6-20
(Read Psalm 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.
