Psalm 69 Introduction

Structure and Formatting

Psalm 69 is a psalm of supplication or lament. It presents the basic elements of that type of psalm. (Some elements are repeated.) Near its end, it becomes a specific kind of psalm of supplication, an “imprecatory psalm” in which the psalmist describes the actions of wicked people and asks God to judge and punish them. Furthermore, the New Testament writers considered Psalm 69 to be a Messianic psalm that looked forward to the reign of Jesus Christ. See the discussion of the types of psalms in the introduction to the book of Psalms. 1. Cry for help (1–3) 2. Description of troubles (4) 3. Confession of sin (5–6) 4. Claim of devotion to God (7–12) 5. Statement of trust (13) 6. Petition (14–18) 7. Description of troubles (19–21) 8. Imprecation (22–28) 9. Vow of praise (29–36)

Translation Issues in This Psalm

While New Testament writers quote this psalm in several places, we encourage translators to translate the words of the Hebrew text as they appear in the Old Testament and the words of the Greek text as they appear in the New Testament, even if, inevitably, there is some difference between the words as the ideas are expressed in different languages. We encourage translators not to try to use similar words in both places so that readers will recognize the quotations. Instead, translators can use footnotes in the New Testament to identify the source of these quotations.Here is a list of the places where New Testament writers quote this psalm:69:4, “The ones hating me gratuitously,” John 15:2569:9, “zeal for your house has consumed me,” John 2:1769:9, “the reproaches of the ones reproaching you have fallen on me,” Romans 15:369:21, “they made me drink vinegar for my thirst,” Mattew 27:34 and John 19:2869:22–23, “Let their table become a snare to their faces and a trap for their welfare. Let their eyes darken from seeing, make their loins tremble continually,” Romans 11:9–1069:25, “Let their encampment be deserted; let there not be a dweller in their tents,” Acts 1:20
