Verse 15
15. thou knowest—namely, my case; what wrongs my adversaries have done me ( :-).
revenge me—(See on :-). The prophet in this had regard to, not his own personal feelings of revenge, but the cause of God; he speaks by inspiration God's will against the ungodly. Contrast in this the law with the gospel (Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60).
take me not away in thy long-suffering—By Thy long-suffering towards them, suffer them not meanwhile to take away my life.
for thy sake I have suffered rebuke—the very words of the antitype, Jesus Christ (Psalms 69:7; Psalms 69:22-28), which last compare with Jeremiah's prayer in the beginning of this verse.
