Psalm 69:1-4

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 69:4

69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies {e} wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I {f} took not away.(e) Condemning me as guilty.(f) They judged me a thief, though innocent, and gave my goods to others, as though I had stolen them. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 69:1-36

Provocation and Imprecation Psalms 69:0 Nobody knows who wrote this poem. All the little headings and ascriptions are of purely human origin, and therefore no reliance is to be put upon them except they be corroborated by historical proofs. Otherwise we read at the head of this psalm, "A Psalm of David;" but who wrote that heading is probably as little known as who wrote the psalm itself. It does not apply to David, because there are some things here that never occurred in his lifetime; it... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 69:1

CONTENTS Here is another gospel Psalm, not of David's troubles, but of David's Lord. The references made to it, in many parts of our Lord's life by himself, and both then and afterwards by his servants the apostles, decidedly show to whom it belongs. Take it in one collected point, and it sketches many of the outlines of Christ's passion, from his birth to the cross. Like the 22nd Psalm, it begins with a view of Christ in his abasement and sufferings, and ends with the relation of his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 69:1-3

We here behold the Head of the church in his unequalled sorrows, and for which we hear him crying out, Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but for this cause came I unto this hour! John 12:27 . Well might the church, when contemplating the love of her Lord, cry out, Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the foods drown it! Song of Solomon 8:7 . Yea, blessed Jesus! neither all thy personal afflictions and sufferings; the vials of thy Father's... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 69:4

What a blessed verse is here! Amidst all the opposition and contradiction of sinners against himself, Jesus manifested that character, by which Jehovah had pointed him out to the church by the prophet; Thou shalt be called the Repairer of the breach, the Restorer of the paths to dwell in; Isaiah 58:12 . But what was it Christ restored? Nay, all that was lost. Adam, by sin, had taken away God's glory, and his own glory and happiness. He had robbed God of his glory, God's law of its due, himself... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1

Remembrance. This is all that occurs in Hebrew, or in many Greek copies, though the following words were perhaps extant in the copy of the Septuagint, or were added to complete the sentence. Several of the verses are found in Psalm xxxiv., and xxxix., and seem to have been used as a form of prayer in any danger. (Berthier) --- David foresaw that Christ would pray for the safety of his natural and mystical body, and would be heard. (Menochius) --- The following psalm is a sequel to this.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:4

'Tis well, 'tis well. Euge, euge. St. Jerome renders it, vah! vah! which is the voice of one insulting and deriding. Some understand it was a detestation of deceitful flatterers. (Challoner) --- In the New Testament, Well done, denotes applause. (St. Jerome in Ezechiel vi.) --- These predictions relate to the murderers of the Messias. (Berthier) --- In the 39th psalm, the Church prays for aid; and here David, persecuted by Absalom, or any of the just, lays before God his particular wants.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:1-12

1-12 We should frequently consider the person of the Sufferer here spoken of, and ask why, as well as what he suffered, that, meditating thereon, we may be more humbled for sin, and more convinced of our danger, so that we may feel more gratitude and love, constraining us to live to His glory who died for our salvation. Hence we learn, when in affliction, to commit the keeping of our souls to God, that we may not be soured with discontent, or sink into despair. David was hated wrongfully, but... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 69:1-21

The Messiah's Vicarious Suffering. To the chief musician, for use in the public assembly of the congregation, upon Shoshannim, to be sung to the melody "On the Lilies. " The psalm is referred to seven times in the New Testament, either by quotation or by unmistakable implication, as prophetical of Christ and the Messianic period. Cf John 15:25; John 2:17; Matthew 27:34; John 19:29. Lament and Prayer v. 1. Save Me, O God; for the waters are come in unto My soul, the Messiah crying in the... read more
