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

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 69:9

69:9 {i} For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.(i) When I saw your enemies claim your Name in mouth only, and in their life deny the same, your Holy Spirit thrust me forward to reprove them and defend your glory. 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 69:8-12

Oh! how precious are these words of our Christ! And how were they all fulfilled in his own sacred person! When he came to his own, his own received him not. And was not Jesus treated worse than a stranger, when, though their law commanded them to remember the heart of a stranger, yet of Jesus, their Brother after the flesh, they said, As for this fellow, we know not from whence he is? John 1:10-11 ; Deuteronomy 10:19 ; John 9:29 . Christ's zeal for his Father's honor was so manifested in the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:1-12

1-12 We should frequently consider the person of the Sufferer here spoken of, and ask why, as well as what he suffered, that, meditating thereon, we may be more humbled for sin, and more convinced of our danger, so that we may feel more gratitude and love, constraining us to live to His glory who died for our salvation. Hence we learn, when in affliction, to commit the keeping of our souls to God, that we may not be soured with discontent, or sink into despair. David was hated wrongfully, but... 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
