Psalms 69:9For the zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon me.A suffering SaviourNearly all the prophecies of Scripture admit of and require a threefold interpretation.1. They tell of some event or experience in the life Of the writer.2. Then of like experience in the people of God.3. And chiefly of what in yet higher degree our Lord Himself should suffer or accomplish. And these remarks apply to this prophecy. Twice in the New... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 69:9

Psa 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. Ver. 9. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up ] Non amat qui non zelat. David’s love to God (much less the Lord Christ’s) would not suffer him to bear with God’s dishonour and the contempt of his ordinances. And this was it that procured him so much ill-will, and such a general alienation from nearest friends and allies. And the reproaches of them that reproached... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 69:10

Psa 69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. Ver. 10.

So they dealt by the Baptist, that crucifix of mortification, Luke 7:33 . read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Psalms 69:9

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.Zeal — That fervent love which I have for thy house and service, and glory, and people.Eaten — Exhausted my spirits.Upon me — I have been as deeply affected with thy reproaches, as with mine own. This tho' truly belonging to David, yet was also directed by the spirit of God in him, to represent the disposition and condition of Christ, in whom it was more fully accomplished, to whom... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:9

9. The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up Hath consumed or devoured me; absorbed my faculties and my being. This is directly applied to Christ, John 2:17. It may be supposed improbable that David, the king, so popular at home and so renowned abroad, should suffer persecution for his religious zeal; but all history declares that the restraints of pure religion provoke enmity, and have been the chief source of persecution of the Church in all ages, not less in kingly courts than among... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:10-11

10, 11. When I wept… with fasting… sackcloth Possibly because of the public depravation of morals, and the alienation from spiritual worship; perhaps for his own sin. Psalms 38, 41, 51. That was to my reproach They made it the theme of jibes and merriment, as if it were unfitting my station, or insincere and for effect. I became a proverb That is, a by-word, a theme of satirical discourse, as Deuteronomy 28:37; 2 Chronicles 7:20; Psalms 44:14; Jeremiah 24:9 read more
