Psalms 69:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 69:9

7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.

8 ^aI have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;

9 ^aBecause zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
^bAnd the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,
That became my reproach.

11 I also¹ made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword to them.

12 Those who¹ sit in the gate speak against me,
And I am the song of the ^adrunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to You,
O Lord, in the acceptable time;
O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,
Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.

14 Deliver me out of the mire,
And let me not sink;
Let me be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the deep waters.
