Psalm 69:6-7
Excerpted from: Prayer and Seeking GodListen to why he was going through this persecution—shame has covered his face, he has borne reproach because of his attitude toward God.
David became the butt of jokes of sarcasm—even bitterness—because he was zealous for God. David put his whole heart into obedience for God, into talking about God, into trying to get people to turn to God, setting a right example for God. So instead of winning people over, they told sarcastic and dirty stories about David. Because of his zeal for God, he became a reproach.
Psalm 69:4-9
Excerpted from: Psalm Genres (Part Three): MessianicLet us just pick up Psalm 69, verses 4 through 9. This is David actually going through a very severe trial.
Knowing what happened in the life of Christ, we can see how this was fulfilled in His life. He was reproached terribly, without a cause really because He had never sinned, never done anybody wrong. But He had borne that reproach. He had borne that shame. And then we also know that His brothers did not believe until afterward. And this specific verse 9 was used to describe the zeal of Jesus Christ.
