Psalms 69:20

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

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;

and I am full of heaviness; as he was in the garden, Mr 14:33; or, "very sick, [yea], incurably sick", as the word (g) signifies; see

2 Samuel 12:15. 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.

(g) ואנושה "adeo ut afficiar aegritudine", Junius Tremellius, Piscator "dolui vel aegritudine affectus sum", Gejerus.
