Psalm 69:26

26 Hun paleis zij verwoest; in hun tenten zij geen inwoner.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 69:26 In-Context

24 Laat hun ogen duister worden, dat zij niet zien; en doe hun lenden gedurig waggelen.

25 Stort over hen Uw gramschap uit; en de hittigheid Uws toorns grijpe hen aan.

26 Hun paleis zij verwoest; in hun tenten zij geen inwoner.

27 Want zij vervolgen, dien Gij geslagen hebt; en maken een praat van de smart Uwer verwonden.

28 Doe misdaad tot hun misdaad, en laat hen niet komen tot Uw gerechtigheid.
