A frequent misinterpretation twists this verse into a modern mandate that church leaders or 'anointed' individuals are untouchable and beyond criticism or accountability, disregarding its historical context within God's dealings with Israel—specifically protecting patriarchs and prophets from pagan rulers—and overlooking biblical calls for testing leaders and confronting sin among God's people.
Psalms 105:15
King James Version (1769)
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psalm 105:15 records God's sovereign command to earthly kings not to harm His anointed servants or prophets, emphasizing His protective covenant over Abraham's descendants and those He calls for His redemptive purposes, ensuring their safety and the fulfillment of His promises amid potential opposition from nations.
