Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 105:15

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed , and do my prophets no harm.

Hurt not, as this word is used of these very persons, Gen. 26. 11, 29. and elsewhere.

My Prophets, as the next words explain it, to wit, Abraham and Isaac and Iacob, as is evident; who are called Gods anointed because they were eminently blessed of God, and consecrated to be his peculiar people and to be Kings and Priests in their Families, and replenished with the gifts and graces of the Holy Ghost, in respect whereof many persons are said to be anointed in Scripture, who never had any material Oyl applied to them, as Psal. 45. 8. Isa. 61. 1. 2 Cor. 1. 21. And they are called Prophets, because God did familiarly converse with them and revealed his mind and will to them and by them to others; and because they were instructers or teachers of others in the true Religion. See Gen. 18. 19. and 20. 7.
