Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 69:7 In-Context

5 Tu, Ăł Deus, bem conheces a minha estultĂ­cia, e as minhas culpas nĂŁo sĂŁo ocultas.
6 Não sejam envergonhados por minha causa aqueles que esperam em ti, ó Senhor Deus dos exércitos; não sejam confundidos por minha causa aqueles que te buscam, ó Deus de Israel.
7 Porque por amor de ti tenho suportado afrontas; a confusĂŁo me cobriu o rosto.
8 Tornei-me como um estranho para os meus irmĂŁos, e um desconhecido para os filhos de minha mĂŁe.
9 Pois o zelo da tua casa me devorou, e as afrontas dos que te afrontam caĂ­ram sobre mim.
