Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 69:0 Undeserved sufferingAs a person sinking in a muddy pit, or someone drowning in swirling floodwaters, so the psalmist fears he is being overwhelmed by his sufferings. No human help is near (1-3). His enemies cruelly injure him, forcing him to suffer for sins that he did not commit (4). He knows he is not sinless, but he also knows that he has tried to live uprightly before God. On the basis of this he cries out to God to rescue him. He does not want his enemies to triumph over him,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 69:1

PSALM 69PRAYER OF ONE AFFLICTED FOR THE TRUTHSUPERSCRIPTION: FOR THE CHIEF MUSICIAN; SET TO SHOSHANNIM.A PSALM OF DAVID.There is no convincing evidence in the psalm itself that David is not the author, although many scholars assume that David could not have written it. The reasons assigned for such opinions however are unconvincing; and the verses usually cited are capable of other interpretations which we shall note during the study of the text.Addis thought that, "Maccabean times suit the... read more

Thomas Constable

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

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
