Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 69:21

_ _ Instead of such, his enemies increase his pain by giving him most distasteful food and drink. The Psalmist may have thus described by figure what Christ found in reality (compare John 19:29, John 19:30).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 69:13-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 69:21

Gall — Instead of giving me that comfort which my condition required, they added to my afflictions. Vinegar — These things were metaphorically fulfilled in David, but properly in Christ, the description of whose sufferings was principally intended here by the Holy Ghost.
