Commentary on Psalms 69:26

Theological / Devotional

Talk to the grief. That is, they add to the sorrow of the afflicted by defaming his character and by misconstruing his expressions of impatience under trial (see on Ps. 41:5–8). This verse states an additional reason for the psalmist’s imprecation.
