Meditations in the Psalms

May 23rd

Psalm 69:7-15

In yesterday’s passage, we read of those who “hate me without a cause,” quoted in the New Testament of our Lord in John 15:25. In our passage today, we read in verse 9 of that which is quoted of our Lord in Romans 15:3. David’s experiences are applied to the “Son of David,” the Messiah, our Lord.

1. The reproach he had to bear – verses 7-8
2. The reason behind it – verses 9-10
3. The reaction of others to his pain – verses 11-12
4. The response he had to the Lord – verse 13
5. The request he made to the Lord – verses 14-15

Others will not always understand, but the Lord does! Our tears may not be known to others, but the Lord sees every one of them. He has promised deliverance – again, in His time and in His way.
