Psalm 69:7

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 69:1-36

Perhaps in no psalm in the whole psalter is the sense of sorrow profounder or more intense than in this. The soul of the singer pours itself out in unrestrained abandonment to the overwhelming and terrible grief which consumes it. The first half is occupied wholly with a statement of the terrible consciousness. There is first a cry of distress, piercing and passionate (verses Psa 69:1-6 ). The circumstances described are of helpless whelming in waters and mire. Yet the chief agony is that God... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 69:1-21

The Psalm of the Trespass Offering Psalms 69:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The 69th Psalm, which we are to study today, is one of those great Calvary Psalms which stir our souls. Like other Psalms there are some things in it of an historical message, but the Psalm can meet its fulfillment only in our greater David, even in our Lord Jesus Christ. The heading of the Psalm says: "David complaineth of his afflictions, he prayeth for deliverance, he praiseth God with thanksgiving." These headings,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:1-36

LXIX. A Prayer for Deliverance and Revenge.— The author was a pious Jew, burning with zeal for the purity of the Temple worship ( Psalms 69:9). He was a representative man, so that the reproaches of those that reproached Yahweh fell upon him. If he was defeated, the pious throughout Israel would lose hope. He was in great danger of his life, and that from his fellow-Jews ( Psalms 69:8). Maccabean times suit the situation best, though Maccabean origin is incapable of proof. Cf., e.g., the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 69:7

For thy sake; for my trust in thy promise, and obedience to thy commands, and zeal for thy glory, and against all wickedness; all which they turn into matter of derision and reproach. My face; in which man’s majesty and glory is most evident, which I am in a manner ashamed to show amongst men. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, a Psalm of David.”“To the chief musician.” See the introduction to Psalms 57:0. “Upon Shoshannim. See the introduction to Psalms 45:0. “A Psalm of David.” The Davidic authorship of this Psalm is strongly supported by its close resemblance to other Psalms which are ascribed to David. Both in thought and language it is nearly related to Psalms 6, 22, 31, 35, 38, 40, 109. Ewald: “Our Psalm manifests such a strong similarity, not... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 69:1-36 The sixty-ninth psalm is a Messianic psalm. That is, it is a psalm of prophecy concerning Jesus Christ. And there are many scriptures within the psalm here that make reference to Jesus Christ.Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for God. They that hate me without cause are more than... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 69:1-36

The Chaldee paraphrase ascribes this psalm to David, and with great care regards it as highly prophetic of the Messiah. St. Paul therefore knew the high authority he had, in quoting it against the Jews. Romans 11:9. We never heard of this psalm being written in Babylon, till we heard of Arianism. Psalms 69:5 . Oh God, thou knowest my foolishness. Our version errs here by copying the Latin. All the first critics read the text subjunctively. Thou knowest whether the accusation of folly which... read more

Psalms 69:1-12Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. Human sufferingI. Man’s sufferings are sometimes overwhelmingly great. This shows--1. The abnormal state of man. Was man made to suffer thus? No; man suffers because he has transgressed.2. The blessedness of Christ’s mission. He came to “heal the broken-hearted,” and to “wipe away all tears from off all faces.”II. Man’s sufferings are often inflicted by his fellow-creatures. The sufferer here ascribes his sufferings, not to... read more

Psalms 69:7-8For Thy sake I have borne reproach.Suffering torture for Christ’s sakeAn echo of the Boxer risings in China was heard in the address of Dr. Whitfield Guinness. In July, 1900, the little party with which he was connected was shut up in Honan, and as the speaker detailed those days of anxiety until deliverance came, many were deeply impressed. After leaving the city, thirteen days were spent hiding in the cabin of a boat. Time after time the boat was examined by the customs... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 69:7

Psa 69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. Ver. 7. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach ] Whatever mine enemies pretend, they strike at thee, Lord, through my sides; and for thy sake alone it is that I am so bespattled, that I am even ashamed to look any one in the face. The most innocent may, upon the fulness of an aspersion, be put out of countenance. read more
