Verse 22. Touch not mine anointed] By this title the patriarchs are generally understood: they had a regal and sacerdotal power in the order of God. In the behalf of the patriarchs God had often especially interfered: in behalf of Abraham, Ge 12:17; Ge 20:3; and of Jacob, Ge 31:24; Ge 34:26; Ge 35:5. But the title may be applied to all the Jewish people, who were the anointed, as they were the elect and peculiar people of God. See on Heb 11:26.

(22) Saying.Omitted in the Hebrew, as in Psa. 2:6, and perhaps at the end of 1Ch. 16:7, supra.
Mine anointed (ones).Plural of Messiah. Abraham and Sarah were to be progenitors of kings (Gen. 17:16). (Comp. Gen. 23:6.)
My prophets.Literally, do no harm against my prophetsa construction unparalleled elsewhere. Psalms 105 has the usual expression, to my prophets. (See Genesis 12, 20, 26 for the passages of patriarchal history to which allusion is here made.)
We have now reached the first seam in this composite ode. Psalms 105 naturally continues its historic proof of Jehovahs faithfulness, by reference to the sojourn in Egypt, the Exodus, the wanderings, and the occupation of Canaan. Here, however, this train of thought is abruptly broken off, and a fresh start made in 1Ch. 16:23 with Psalms 96. The author, or authors, who compiled this hymn of praise strung together familiar psalms as a sort of mosaic, to give approximate expression to the festive strains and feelings of the day (Delitzsch).

Mine anointed. Israel was regarded as a kingdom of anointed kings and priests (Exo 19:6).
