Psalms 69:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:19

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour,
&c.] A heap of words to express the greatness of the contempt that was cast upon him, and the injury that was done to his person and character; which was all known to God: as how he was vilified by wicked words and blasphemous speeches; how he was exposed to shame and dishonour by deeds; by spitting upon him, buffeting him, veiling his face, stripping him of his garments, and scourging and crucifying him naked;

mine adversaries [are] all before thee;
in his sight: he knew their persons, the malice and wickedness that were in their hearts; and all the evil words that were spoken, and the evil actions that were done by them. Or, "are all against thee" F6; for they that were against Christ were against his Father.

Psalms 69:19 In-Context

17 I am in trouble, so do not hide your face from me. Answer me quickly!
18 Come close, and defend my soul. Set me free because of my enemies.
19 You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated. All my opponents are in front of you.
20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none. I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one.
21 They poisoned my food, and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.
