Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 69:1-36
Psalms 69In this imprecatory psalm of individual lament, David sought God to deliver him from destruction. He was experiencing criticism and rejection from the Israelites because of decisions he had made to do God’s will. He asked God to deal with his oppressors, and he looked forward to relief and the renewal of praise to God. Some scholars have labeled this psalm "indirectly messianic" because, while it does not specifically predict Messiah, Messiah fulfilled what the writer expressed (cf.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 69:9
Evidently it was David’s preoccupation with building the temple that had turned popular opinion against him. Perhaps the majority of the Israelites considered this an extravagant project. Had he increased taxes to pay for it? We do not know.The Lord Jesus’ zeal for the temple that led Him to drive the moneychangers out of it brought this verse to His disciples’ minds (John 2:17). read more

David had expressed his mourning over the opposition he faced by weeping internally, by going without meals, and by wearing sackcloth. His sorrow was genuine and deep. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:1-36
This whole Ps. should be compared with Psalms 22, 31, 35, 38, , 40. It is the prayer of one who is in deep distress, wrongfully persecuted by enemies, and conscious that, though he is sinful, his sufferings are due to his fidelity to God (Psalms 69:1-12). He pleads for deliverance (Psalms 69:13-20) and calls upon God to take the severest vengeance on his adversaries (Psalms 69:21-28). The Ps. closes with a triumphant strain of praise (Psalms 69:29-36). Psalms 69:35 points to a date long after... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 69:9
(9) Of thine house—i.e., for thine house. Hosea 8:1, shows that house might stand for congregation, but very probably we are to understand zeal for the restoration or repair of the Temple, or more likely regard for its purity and honour. So at least one applied the words long after, John 2:17 (where see Note in New Testament Commentary).And the reproaches.—See St. Paul’s application of these words Romans 15:3. If the author had been thinking chiefly of his sin as the cause of the reproach of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 69:10
(10) When I wept . . .—The expression I wept (or lamented) my soul with fasting is hardly intelligible, though perhaps we might say I wept out my soul with fasting. The LXX. and Psalms 35:13 suggest an emendation to “I humbled my soul with fasting.”To my reproach.—Quite literally and better, a reproach to me. Those who made light of the covenant altogether, who were in heart apostates both to faith and patriotism, would naturally treat with contempt those outward signs by which an erring... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 69:1-36
Looking and Not Finding Psalms 69:20 Read the whole verse; it is like the falling of a great thunder-shower of tears. 'Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.' Say you that man wrote three thousand years ago? He wrote this morning, he is with us now, he is in our hearts. A man takes his sorrow with him more surely than he takes his shadow. I. 'I looked for some to take pity.' What a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 69:10
Psalms 69:10. When I wept, &c.— When I bemoaned my soul with fasting. Psalms 69:12. They that sit in the gate] i.e. As it is generally interpreted, the judges or chief persons of the state; for the gates of cities were the places of judicature, as we have had occasion frequently to remark. But St. Hilary interprets this of those who sat to beg at the gates of the city; which seems a more probable interpretation, better to agree with the design of the Psalmist, and to suit with the drunkards... read more
