Romans 15:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As it is written— In Psalms 69:9. That this psalm was undoubtedly spoken of the Messiah, we learn from Romans 15:22 applied to Christ, John 19:28-29 and from the former part of the verse here cited; namely, The zeal of thine house hath confirmed me, applied to Christ, John 2:17. And the Jews themselves confess that the things contained in this psalm shall be accomplished in the days of the Messiah. The passage maybe paraphrased respecting our Saviour, "I have placed myself in a world, where I have been afflicted with the wickedness of mankind; which I have continually seen and heard about me, and which has been, through the whole course of my life, my continual grief and burden." See Whitby, and on Psalms 69:9.
