Context of Psalms 69:19
17I am in trouble, so do not hide your face from me. Answer me quickly! 18Come close, and defend my soul. Set me free because of my enemies. You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated. All my opponents are in front of you. 20Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none. I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one. 21They poisoned my food, and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.

Commentaries on Psalms 69:19
- 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.
