Commentary on Psalms 69:7

Theological / Devotional

For thy sake. The real cause of the enmity was the psalmist’s devotion to God. Sinful men despise those who serve God. The conduct of the children of God shames sinners.

Shame. Here referring to the slanderous charges heaped upon the psalmist (see Ps. 44:15, 16).
