Psalm 69:34

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 69:1-36THE Davidic authorship of this psalm is evidently untenable, if for no other reason, yet because of the state of things presupposed in Psalms 69:35. The supposition that Jeremiah was the author has more in its favour than in the case of many of the modern attributions of psalms to him, even if, as seems most probable, the references to sinking in deep mire and the like are metaphorical. Cheyne fixes on the period preceding Nehemiah’s first journey to Jerusalem as the earliest... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalm 69-72 Psalms 69:0 The Suffering and Rejected Christ 1. Hated without a cause (Psalms 69:1-6 ) 2. Bearing reproach (Psalms 69:7-12 ) 3. His own prayer (Psalms 69:13-21 ) 4. The retribution (Psalms 69:22-28 ) 5. His exaltation and the glory (Psalms 69:29-36 ) Psalm 69-72 go together and lead us prophetically from the suffering and rejected Christ to the glory of His kingdom in the Seventy-second Psalm. The Sixty-ninth Psalm, like the Forty-fifth, bears the inscription, “upon... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 69:1-36

Provocation and Imprecation Psalms 69:0 Nobody knows who wrote this poem. All the little headings and ascriptions are of purely human origin, and therefore no reliance is to be put upon them except they be corroborated by historical proofs. Otherwise we read at the head of this psalm, "A Psalm of David;" but who wrote that heading is probably as little known as who wrote the psalm itself. It does not apply to David, because there are some things here that never occurred in his lifetime; it... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 69:30-36

Christ had an eye to the glory that should be revealed, in all his sufferings. So saith the Holy Ghost; by the apostle, when he calls upon his people to be looking unto him, Hebrews 12:2 . And hence the two great leading points of prophecy concerning Christ, as our glorious Head, were of the sufferings of Christ, and the glory which should follow; 1 Peter 1:11 . Reader! it is blessed when a believing soul can take up the words of his adorable Head, and hath a well-formed and well-grounded... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:30-36

30-36 The psalmist concludes the psalm with holy joy and praise, which he began with complaints of his grief. It is a great comfort to us, that humble and thankful praises are more pleasing to God than the most costly, pompous sacrifices. The humble shall look to him, and be glad; those that seek him through Christ shall live and be comforted. God will do great things for the gospel church, in which let all who wish well to it rejoice. A seed shall serve him on earth, and his servants shall... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 69:22-36

Plea for Vengeance v. 22. Let their table become a snare before them, spread for a banquet as it appeared, Psalms 23:5, it should become a trap to the enemies; and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap, literally, "and to the secure for a snare. " Since no amount of seeking and calling could bring the enemies to their senses; since they persisted in rejecting Him and His Gospel, therefore the Messiah calls upon God to punish them as the hardness of their hearts... read more

Psalms 69:0To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David Save me, O God;For the waters are come in unto my soul.2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried:Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:They that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:Then I restored that... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 69:18-36

“Jehovah Heareth the Needy” Psalms 69:18-36 In Psalms 69:19-21 the psalmist again spreads out his griefs before God. He had looked for pity, but his foes only aggravated his sufferings. Both Matthew and John had these verses in mind in describing our Lord’s sufferings on the Cross, Matthew 27:48 ; John 19:29 . The next section, Psalms 69:22-28 , is full of imprecations. We cannot bring these terrible words within the scope of our Lord’s teachings. They show, like a pillar which marks the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 69:1-36

Perhaps in no psalm in the whole psalter is the sense of sorrow profounder or more intense than in this. The soul of the singer pours itself out in unrestrained abandonment to the overwhelming and terrible grief which consumes it. The first half is occupied wholly with a statement of the terrible consciousness. There is first a cry of distress, piercing and passionate (verses Psa 69:1-6 ). The circumstances described are of helpless whelming in waters and mire. Yet the chief agony is that God... read more
