Psalms 69:34-36

Zeal, Reproach, and the Saving God Who Rebuilds Zion

Psalm 69 moves from drowning distress and causeless hatred, through reproach for God-centered zeal and renewed pleas for rescue, into imprecatory judgment, thankful praise, and covenant hope for Zion and the descendants of God's servants.
