Salmi 69:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:7

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach
Being reckoned a sinner, called a deceiver, said to be a Samaritan, and to have a devil; with many other reproaches, which he bore patiently for the sake of the word and worship of God, and for the sake of the glory of God, which he all along sought; and to repair the loss of it, which was sustained through the sin of man;

shame hath covered my face;
when he was spit upon by some, and smote by others with a rod upon his cheek; and when he was blindfolded, and bid to prophesy who smote him; see ( Isaiah 50:6 ) .

Salmi 69:7 In-Context

5 O Dio, tu conosci la mia follia; E le mie colpe non ti sono occulte.
6 O Signore, Dio degli eserciti, Quelli che sperano in te non sieno confusi per cagion di me; Quelli che ti cercano non sieno svergognati per me, O Dio d’Israele.
7 Perciocchè per l’amor di te io soffro vituperio; Vergogna mi ha coperta la faccia.
8 Io son divenuto strano a’ miei fratelli, E forestiere a’ figliuoli di mia madre.
9 Perciocchè lo zelo della tua Casa mi ha roso; E i vituperii di quelli che ti fanno vituperio mi caggiono addosso.
