THE CAUSE OF DAVID'S SUFFERING"Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;Shame hath covered my face.I am become a stranger to my brethren,And an alien to my mother's children.For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,That was to my reproach.When I made sackcloth my clothing,I became a byword unto them.They that sit in the gate talk of me;And I am the song of the drunkards.""For thy... read more

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.

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.
