Psalm 69:11

Listen to Psalm 69:11
11 Ho fatto d’un cilicio il mio vestito, ma son diventato il loro ludibrio.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 69:11 In-Context

9 Poiché lo zelo della tua casa mi ha roso, e i vituperi di quelli che ti vituperano son caduti su me.
10 Io ho pianto, ho afflitto l’anima mia col digiuno, ma questo è divenuto un motivo d’obbrobrio.
11 Ho fatto d’un cilicio il mio vestito, ma son diventato il loro ludibrio.
12 Quelli che seggono alla porta discorron di me, e sono oggetto di canzone ai bevitori di cervogia.
13 Ma, quanto a me, la mia preghiera sale a te, o Eterno, nel tempo accettevole; o Dio, nella grandezza della tua misericordia, rispondimi, secondo la veritĂ  della tua salvezza.
