Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 143:12

Cut off mine enemies, etc. When you find these imprecations to be prophecies of events which the Psalmist himself could not understand; but were to be fulfilled in persons whom the Psalmist could not know, as they were to live in distant future ages, —for instance, Judas, and the Romans, and leaders of the Jewish nation, —who would make these imprecations proofs of a revengeful spirit? —James Bennet (1774-1862), in "Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles," 1847.
