Salmos 69:26

26 Porque persiguieron al que tú heriste; y se jactan que les matas sus enemigos

Salmos 69:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:26

For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten
Meaning the Messiah, who was not only smitten and scourged by men, but was stricken and smitten of God; according to his determinate counsel and foreknowledge, and agreeably to his will and plea sure; with the rod of his justice for the satisfaction of it; for the sins of his people, whose surety he was. Him the Jews followed with reproaches and calumnies; pursued after his life, and persecuted him unto death; and which was the cause of their ruin and destruction; see ( 1 Thessalonians 2:15 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) ;

and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded;
or, "of thy wounded ones" ^F12; not wounded by him, but wounded for his sake, on his account, and for their profession of faith in his son Jesus Christ. These, as they were led to the slaughter, had trial of cruel mockings, which aggravated their sufferings, and were very grieving to them; especially such talk as reflected upon their dear Redeemer, for whose sake they were put to death.
