Bible Question: in psalm 69:4 why is david hated without cause? |
Bible Answer: Dear min.dickson, Welcome to the forum. “…the psalm belongs to Christ, and to the times of the Gospel, is abundantly evident from the citations out of it in the New Testament; as Psalm 69:4 in John 15:25; Psalm 69:9 in John 2:17; Psalm 69:21 in Matthew 27:34; Psalm 69:22 in Romans 11:9; Psalm 69:25 in Acts 1:16. The inscription of the psalm in the Syriac version is, "'a psalm' of David, according to the letter, when Shemuah (Sheba), the son of Bichri, blew a trumpet, and the people ceased from following after him (David); but the prophecy is said concerning those things which the Messiah suffered, and concerning the rejection of the Jews." And Aben Ezra interprets Psalm 69:36 of the days of David, or of the days of the Messiah.” - John Gill’s Exposition (source: http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/psalm/gill/psalm69.htm) I believe the below link is also helpful for you to understand Psalm 69. http://www.spurgeon.org/treasury/ps069.htm Shalom Azure |
