Contextual Overview

38 But now you have refused and rejected your appointed king. You have been angry with him. 39 You have abandoned the agreement with your servant and thrown his crown to the ground. 40 You have torn down all his city walls; you have turned his strong cities into ruins. 41 Everyone who passes by steals from him. His neighbors insult him. 42 You have given strength to his enemies and have made them all happy. 43 You have made his sword useless; you did not help him stand in battle. 44 You have kept him from winning and have thrown his throne to the ground. 45 You have cut his life short and covered him with shame. Selah 46 Lord , how long will this go on? Will you ignore us forever? How long will your anger burn like a fire? 47 Remember how short my life is. Why did you create us? For nothing?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries,.... Suffered them to become powerful, and to prevail against him; as the wicked Jews, and Satan, and his principalities and powers, at the time of Christ's apprehension, crucifixion, and death; for then were their hour, and the power of darkness, Luke 22:53, death also had dominion over him, and held him under the power of it for awhile: the enemies of his interest, Rome Pagan, and Rome Papal, have, in their turns, had their right hands set up, and have had power, and prevailed over it; and the latter will again, at the slaying of the witnesses: all which, though it seems contrary to Psalms 89:21, yet is not; for Satan, though he bruised Christ's heel, yet Christ bruised his head, destroyed his works, and him himself, and that by dying; and spoiled his principalities and powers; and death could not hold him long, nor has it now any dominion over him, and is abolished by him; and antichrist, and all the antichristian powers, will be destroyed by him ere long:

thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice; as they did when they had got him on the cross; and especially when he was laid in the grave,

Psalms 22:7, and as the antichristian party will when his witnesses are slain, Revelation 11:10, but as the joy of the former was short lived, and was soon turned into sorrow, so will be that of the latter.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries - Hast given them the victory. Thou hast suffered them to accomplish their purposes.

Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice - They joy or rejoice in the success of their plans; in their triumphs over thy servant and over his people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 89:42. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries — Thou hast given them that strength which thou didst formerly give to thy own people; therefore these are depressed, those exalted.
