A Prophecy of Judas's Fall
Multiple commentators emphasize that the New Testament directly applies this verse to Judas Iscariot. In Acts 1:20, the Apostle Peter quotes this psalm to explain why Judas, after his betrayal and death, needed to be replaced. This shows how the early church understood the Psalms as prophetically pointing to Christ and the events surrounding his life.
