Context of Psalms 69:19
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily. 18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies. Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee. 20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none. 21They gave me also gall for my food; And in 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. The language of these two verses is inimitable; and the sentiment cannot be mended. I can devise no comment that would not lessen their effect.Read the comment
