Psalm 69
1. David complains of his affliction
13. He prays for deliverance
22. He devotes his enemies to destruction
30. He praises God with thanksgiving














You know
The phrase "You know" underscores the omniscience of God. In Hebrew, the word used is "יָדַע" (yada), which conveys an intimate, experiential knowledge. This is not a distant awareness but a profound understanding of the psalmist's plight. It reassures believers that God is fully aware of their struggles and sufferings, offering comfort that nothing escapes His notice.

my reproach
The term "reproach" refers to scorn or disgrace that one experiences from others. In the Hebrew context, "חֶרְפָּה" (cherpah) is often associated with public shame or dishonor. This reflects the psalmist's experience of being mocked or ridiculed, a common theme in the Psalms where the righteous suffer at the hands of the wicked. It serves as a reminder that Jesus Himself bore reproach, fulfilling the messianic prophecy and identifying with human suffering.

my shame
"Shame" in this context is "בּוּשָׁה" (bushah) in Hebrew, indicating a deep sense of humiliation or embarrassment. This word captures the internal emotional turmoil that accompanies public disgrace. The psalmist's transparency in expressing his shame invites believers to bring their own feelings of inadequacy and failure before God, trusting in His redemptive power.

and disgrace
The word "disgrace" is translated from "כְּלִמָּה" (kelimah), which can mean dishonor or insult. This term emphasizes the severity of the psalmist's situation, as disgrace often leads to social isolation. Historically, disgrace could result in being ostracized from the community, highlighting the depth of the psalmist's suffering. It points to the ultimate disgrace Christ endured on the cross, bearing the sins of the world.

All my adversaries
"Adversaries" refers to those who oppose or persecute the psalmist. The Hebrew word "צָרַר" (tsarar) implies hostility and enmity. This phrase acknowledges the presence of enemies who seek to harm or undermine the psalmist. It reflects the spiritual reality of opposition faced by believers, reminding them of the spiritual warfare that exists and the need for divine intervention.

are before You
The phrase "are before You" signifies that God is fully aware of the psalmist's enemies and their actions. In Hebrew, "לְפָנֶיךָ" (lefanekha) suggests being in the presence of or under the scrutiny of God. This provides assurance that God sees and judges all things righteously. It encourages believers to trust in God's justice and timing, knowing that He will ultimately vindicate His people.

Verse 19. - Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour (comp. vers. 7-12). Whatever David has suffered at the hands of his enemies has been fully known to God, who has at any rate permitted it. Having seen and known, God will not forget. My adversaries are all before thee. Thou hast seen my adversaries also, and still hast them in thy sight. Thou beholdest their insolence and audacity.
