The recompense of the charitable4. David complains of his enemies' treachery 10. He flees to God for helpfulness A vile disease The phrase "a vile disease" in Psalm 41:8 from the Berean Standard Bible can be understood as a severe affliction or malady. The Hebrew word used here is "בְּלִיַּעַל" (beliyya'al), which often denotes something worthless or wicked. In the context of ancient Israel, diseases were often seen as manifestations of divine judgment or as a result of sin. This phrase suggests not just a physical ailment but also carries a moral or spiritual connotation, indicating that the affliction is seen as a punishment or a sign of God's displeasure. Historically, diseases were feared and often led to social isolation, reflecting the deep impact such an affliction would have on the individual. has been poured upon him He will never get up "A wicked saying have they directed against me: Let the sick man never rise again," which has the support of the LXX. and Vulg., though they make of the last clause a question, "Shall not the sleeper rise again?" Verse 8. - An evil disease (literally, a thing of Belial), say they, cleaveth fast unto him. (On the meaning of "Belial," see the comment on Psalm 18:4.) The "thing of Belial" here intended may, perhaps, be the disease from which David was suffering, but is more probably some disgraceful charge or infamous calumny which had been circulated concerning him, and was now crushing him down. This calumny is represented as poured out upon him like a coating of molten metal (see Job 41:23, 24), and so cleaving to him. And now that he lieth; i.e. "now that he is prostrate upon a sick-bed." He shall rise up no more. He shall not recover, but die of his malady.Parallel Commentaries ...
