SEV Biblia, Chapter 69:4
Se han aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza los que me aborrecen sin causa; se han fortalecido mis enemigos, los que me destruyen sin por qué; entonces devolví lo que no hurté.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 68:4
Verse 4. Then I restored that which I took not away. ] I think, with Calmet, that this is a sort of proverbial expression, like such as these, "Those who suffered the wrong, pay the costs." Delirant reges, plectuntur Achivi. "Kings sin, and the people are punished."The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." Our fathers have grievously sinned against the Lord, and we their posterity suffer for it. See on verse 12. Some have applied it to our Lord. I restored, by my suffering and death, that image of God and the Divine favour, which I took not away. That is, In my human nature I expiated the crime that human beings had committed against God. But such applications are very gratuitous.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-12 - We should frequently consider the person of the Sufferer here spoke of, and ask why, as well as what he suffered, that, meditating thereon we may be more humbled for sin, and more convinced of our danger, s that we may feel more gratitude and love, constraining us to live to His glory who died for our salvation. Hence we learn, when in affliction, to commit the keeping of our souls to God, that we may no be soured with discontent, or sink into despair. David was hate wrongfully, but the words far more fully apply to Christ. In a worl where unrighteousness reigns so much, we must not wonder if we mee with those that are our enemies wrongfully. Let us take care that we never do wrong; then if we receive wrong, we may the better bear it. By the satisfaction Christ made to God for our sin by his blood, he restored that which he took not away, he paid our debt, suffered for our offences. Even when we can plead Not guilty, as to men's unjus accusations, yet before God we must acknowledge ourselves to deserv all that is brought upon us. All our sins take rise from ou foolishness. They are all done in God's sight. David complains of the unkindness of friends and relations. This was fulfilled in Christ whose brethren did not believe on him, and who was forsaken by his disciples. Christ made satisfaction for us, not only by putting off the honours due to God, but by submitting to the greatest dishonours tha could be done to any man. We need not be discouraged if our zeal for the truths, precepts, and worship of God, should provoke some, an cause others to mock our godly sorrow and deadness to the world.
