Contextual Overview
9 But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and thou wilt not go forth with our hosts. 10 Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves. 11 Thou madest us as sheep for meat; and thou scatteredst us among the nations. 12 Thou hast sold thy people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange. 13 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision them that are round about us. 14 Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations. 15 All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me, 16 because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,.... That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; see Revelation 13:5;
by reason of the enemy and avenger; which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, Psalms 8:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the voice of him ... - That is, Because I hear the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes. The word rendered blasphemeth, means properly to use cutting words; then, to reproach or revile. It may be applied either to people or to God. In the former case, it means reproach or reviling; in the latter, blasphemy in the usual sense of that term, denoting reproachful words concerning God. The word may be used here in both these senses, as it is evident that not only were the people the subject of reproach, but that God was also.
By reason of the enemy - That is, the foreign enemies, or those who had invaded the land.
And avenger - Of him who had come to take vengeance. Here the word refers to the foreign enemies of the nation, and to the spirit by which they were actuated; their purposes to avenge themselves of what they regarded as wrongs, or take vengeance on a nation which they had long hated. Compare the notes at Psalms 8:2.
