Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 69:22-28

We may accept these verses as so many expressions of prophecy, which were literally fulfilled, as our Lord elsewhere predicted, in the siege and overthrow of Jerusalem, about forty years after the ascension of the Lord Jesus. Luk_19:41; Luk_19:44 . It is impossible to read these scriptures, and then turn to the present state of our elder brethren the Jews, but with the most painful concern. Surely the Lord hath given them the spirit of slumber; eyes that they shall not see, and ears that they... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:13-21

13-21 Whatever deep waters of affliction or temptation we sink into, whatever floods of trouble or ungodly men seem ready to overwhelm us, let us persevere in prayer to our Lord to save us. The tokens of God's favour to us are enough to keep our spirits from sinking in the deepest outward troubles. If we think well of God, and continue to do so under the greatest hardships, we need not fear but he will do well for us. And if at any time we are called on to suffer reproach and shame, for... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 69:22-29

22-29 These are prophecies of the destruction of Christ's persecutors. Verses Psalms 69:22; Psalms 69:23, are applied to the judgments of God upon the unbelieving Jews, in Romans 11:9; Romans 11:10. When the supports of life and delights of sense, through the corruption of our nature, are made the food and fuel of sin, then our table is a snare. Their sin was, that they would not see, but shut their eyes against the light, loving darkness rather; their punishment was, that they should not see,... read more

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 69:22-36

Plea for Vengeance v. 22. Let their table become a snare before them, spread for a banquet as it appeared, Psalms 23:5, it should become a trap to the enemies; and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap, literally, "and to the secure for a snare. " Since no amount of seeking and calling could bring the enemies to their senses; since they persisted in rejecting Him and His Gospel, therefore the Messiah calls upon God to punish them as the hardness of their hearts... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 69:1-36

Psalms 69:0To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David Save me, O God;For the waters are come in unto my soul.2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried:Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:They that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:Then I restored that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 69:18-36

“Jehovah Heareth the Needy” Psalms 69:18-36 In Psalms 69:19-21 the psalmist again spreads out his griefs before God. He had looked for pity, but his foes only aggravated his sufferings. Both Matthew and John had these verses in mind in describing our Lord’s sufferings on the Cross, Matthew 27:48 ; John 19:29 . The next section, Psalms 69:22-28 , is full of imprecations. We cannot bring these terrible words within the scope of our Lord’s teachings. They show, like a pillar which marks the... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 69:23

MISUSED PRIVILEGES AN OCCASION OF FALLING‘Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal: and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.’ Psalms 69:23 (Prayer Book Version) We are familiar with the comments that are often made on inspired words like these. ‘What a spirit,’ men say, ‘is here! How unlike the mild, tender, charitable spirit of our Master, Christ! How unfit to be repeated by Christians who have been taught in the school... read more
