Context of Psalms 69:19
17Do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. 18Draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies [so that they do not delight in my distress]. You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor [how I am insulted]; My adversaries are all before You [each one fully known]. 20Reproach and insults have broken my heart and I am so sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none. 21They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Thou hast known my reproach - This is one of the most forcible appeals to mercy and compassion that was ever made.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Thou hast known my reproach - The reproach that has come upon me; the shame and contempt which I am called to endure.
