Psalm 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.

Psalm 69:19 In-Context

17 Verhoor mij, o HEERE, want Uw goedertierenheid is goed; zie mij aan naar de grootheid Uwer barmhartigheden.

18 En verberg Uw aangezicht niet van Uw knecht, want mij is bange; haast U, verhoor mij.

19 Nader tot mijn ziel, bevrijd ze; verlos mij om mijner vijanden wil.

20 Gij weet mijn versmaadheid, en mijn schaamte, en mijn schande; al mijn benauwers zijn voor U.

21 De versmaadheid heeft mijn hart gebroken, en ik ben zeer zwak; en ik heb gewacht naar medelijden, maar er is geen; en naar vertroosters, maar heb ze niet gevonden.
