Psaume 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.

Psaume 69:11 In-Context

9 Car le zèle de ta maison me dévore, Et les outrages de ceux qui t'insultent tombent sur moi.

10 Je verse des larmes et je jeûne, Et c'est ce qui m'attire l'opprobre;

11 Je prends un sac pour vêtement, Et je suis l'objet de leurs sarcasmes.

12 Ceux qui sont assis à la porte parlent de moi, Et les buveurs de liqueurs fortes me mettent en chansons.

13 Mais je t'adresse ma prière, ô Eternel! Que ce soit le temps favorable, ô Dieu, par ta grande bonté! Réponds-moi, en m'assurant ton secours!
