Psalm 69:20

20 Die Schmach bricht mir mein Herz und kränkt mich. Ich warte, ob es jemand jammere, aber da ist niemand, und auf Tröster, aber ich finde keine.

Psalm 69:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:20

Reproach hath broken my heart
This was his case when his soul was exceeding sorrowful unto death, and his heart like wax melted in the midst of his bows is, ( Matthew 26:38 ) ( Psalms 22:14 ) ;

and I am full of heaviness;
as he was in the garden, ( Mark 14:33 ) ; or, "very sick, [yea], incurably sick", as the word ^F7 signifies; see ( 2 Samuel 12:15 ) ( Jeremiah 30:12 Jeremiah 30:15 ) . For what cure is there for a broken heart?

and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for
comforters, but I found none:
his disciples forsook him and fled; the priests, scribes, and common people, that attended him at the cross, mocking him; the thieves that were crucified with him reviled him; and his Father hid his face from him; only a few women stood afar off and lamented.
