Shoshannim
( See Scofield) - (Psalms 45:1).
Save me, O God
The New Testament quotations from, and references to, this Psalm indicate in what way it adumbrates Christ. It is the psalm of His humiliation and rejection (Psalms 69:4); (Psalms 69:7); (Psalms 69:8); (Psalms 69:10-12). (Psalms 69:14-20) may well describe the exercises of His holy soul in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-45) while (Psalms 69:21) is a direct reference to the cross; (Matthew 27:34); (Matthew 27:48); (John 19:28). The imprecatory verses (Psalms 69:22-28) are connected (Romans 11:9); (Romans 11:10) with the present judicial blindness of Israel, (Psalms 69:25) having special reference to Judas. (Acts 1:20) who is thus made typical of his generation, which shared his guilt.
