Salmos 69:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:11

I made sackcloth also my garment
Though we nowhere read that Jesus put on sackcloth upon any occasion, yet it is not improbable that he did; besides, the phrase may only intend that he mourned and sorrowed at certain times, as persons do when they put on sackcloth: moreover, as the common garb of his forerunner was raiment of camels' hair, with a leathern girdle; so it is very likely his own was very mean, suitable to his condition; who, though he was rich, for our sakes became poor;

and I became a proverb to them;
a byword; so that when they saw any person in sackcloth, or in vile raiment, behold such an one looks like Jesus of Nazareth.

Salmos 69:11 In-Context

9 Porque me consumió el celo de tu casa; Y los denuestos de los que te vituperaban, cayeron sobre mí.
10 Y lloré afligiendo con ayuno mi alma; Y esto me ha sido por afrenta.
11 Puse además saco por mi vestido; Y vine á serles por proverbio.
12 Hablaban contra mí los que se sentaban á la puerta, Y me zaherían en las canciones de los bebederos de sidra.
13 Empero yo enderezaba mi oración á ti, oh Jehová, al tiempo de tu buena voluntad: Oh Dios, por la multitud de tu misericordia, Por la verdad de tu salud, óyeme.
