Psalms 69:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 69:17

15 Let not the floodwater overflow me,
Nor let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.

16 Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;
Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.

17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in trouble;
Hear me speedily.

18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;
Deliver me because of my enemies.

19 You know ^amy reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;
My adversaries are all before You.

20 Reproach has broken my heart,
And I am full of¹ heaviness;
^aI looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;
And for ^bcomforters, but I found none.

21 They also gave me gall for my food,
^aAnd for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 ^aLet their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.

23 ^aLet their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.
