Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Psalms 69:3

I am weary of my crying; I have prayed and cried to God long and fervently, and yet God seems to neglect and forsake me. My throat is dried with loud and frequent cries. Mine eyes fail with looking to God for that assistance which he hath promised, and I confidently expected, but in vain.
