Psalm 69 - Hated without Cause
https://jameslongjr.org/
Sundays in the Psalms / Psalm 69
Prayer for protection
In the psalm, we will hear of a man who is hated without reason and is being falsely accused.
But rather than thinking of his own reputation, he is more concerned about how other believers are being affected.
We also hear of a misunderstood man, yet a man who continues to pray. He was begging God to listen to him not because of his own goodness but because of God's mercy and kindness.
David's sorrow will encourage us to look at Jesus Christ and what He suffered for all of those who would trust in Him as the Savior and Lord.
Psalm 69 ends by focusing on the future and ends with a burst of praise.
How was the psalmist able to praise? Because he was able to look towards God's promised salvation as he dealt with the present pain.
There will be much for us to learn from this great psalm.
