How preachers through history handled this text
10 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 69, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“We should frequently consider the person of the Sufferer here spoken of, and ask why, as well as what he suffered, that, meditating thereon, we may be more humbled for sin, and more convinced of our danger, so that we may feel more gratitude and love, constraining us to live to His glory who died for our salvation. Hence we learn, when in affliction, to commit the keeping of our souls to God, that we may not be soured with discontent, or sink into despair. David was hated wrongfully, but the words far more fully apply to Christ. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 69:1–12 (Public Domain)
