Psalm 69:4-7

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 69:5

(5) My foolishness.—This does not conflict with a true Messianic application of the Psalm, but is fatal to that which would see in the author not an imperfect type, but a prophetic mouthpiece of Christ. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 69:6

(6) Let not them.—We again meet the feeling so common in the Psalms (see especially Psalms 44:17-22), that the sufferings of any member of Israel must bring dishonour on the name of Jehovah and on His religion. Here, however, it seems to touch a higher chord of feeling and to approach the true Churchmanship—the esprit de corps of the Kingdom of Heaven—which attaches a greater heinousness to the sin because it may harm the brethren. Not only would Jehovah be dishonoured in the sight of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 69:7

(7) Because.—Better, for.For thy sake.—It is plain from Psalms 69:9 that these words can only mean that the reproach under which the psalmist (or the community of which he was the spokesman) laboured was borne in the cause of religion. (Comp. Jeremiah 15:15.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 69:1-36

Looking and Not Finding Psalms 69:20 Read the whole verse; it is like the falling of a great thunder-shower of tears. 'Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.' Say you that man wrote three thousand years ago? He wrote this morning, he is with us now, he is in our hearts. A man takes his sorrow with him more surely than he takes his shadow. I. 'I looked for some to take pity.' What a... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 69:1-36THE Davidic authorship of this psalm is evidently untenable, if for no other reason, yet because of the state of things presupposed in Psalms 69:35. The supposition that Jeremiah was the author has more in its favour than in the case of many of the modern attributions of psalms to him, even if, as seems most probable, the references to sinking in deep mire and the like are metaphorical. Cheyne fixes on the period preceding Nehemiah’s first journey to Jerusalem as the earliest... read more

Psalm 69-72 Psalms 69:0 The Suffering and Rejected Christ 1. Hated without a cause (Psalms 69:1-6 ) 2. Bearing reproach (Psalms 69:7-12 ) 3. His own prayer (Psalms 69:13-21 ) 4. The retribution (Psalms 69:22-28 ) 5. His exaltation and the glory (Psalms 69:29-36 ) Psalm 69-72 go together and lead us prophetically from the suffering and rejected Christ to the glory of His kingdom in the Seventy-second Psalm. The Sixty-ninth Psalm, like the Forty-fifth, bears the inscription, “upon... read more

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

69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for {h} my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.(h) Do not let my evil entreaty of the enemy be an opportunity for the faithful to fall from you. 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
