Psa 109:6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

Set thou   "Dr. Sykes, Michaelis, and others, contend that these imprecations are those of David's enemies against himself; and they would render, ""Set, say they, a wicked,"" etc: but this is rendered highly improbable by the 8th verse being applied by St. Peter to the traitor Judas, of whom David was certainly not a type. (See Psa 109:20.) Bp. Horsley and others, however, render the verbs in the future tense, the first verb alone being in the imperative; justly considering the Psalmist as merely uttering prophetic denunciations of God's displeasure against sinners. Mat 27:4"
and let   Zec 3:1; Jhn 13:2,27
Satan   or, an adversary. Mat 5:25
