PSALM 69

SAVE ME, O GOD

Because David has more enemies than hairs on his head, David feels defeated and distressed. Although David is experiencing shame, scorn, and heartbreak, he still trusts God’s steadfast love. David asks for God to take out His indignation on his enemies and believes God will enact justice. 

David references being given sour wine to drink when he is desperate for thirst. Many years later, Jesus is given vinegar for His thirst in His dying moments on the cross (Matthew 27:34-35). 

 Psalm 69:21 - They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink.
