Contextual Overview
To the director: To the tune "The Lilies." A song of David.
God, save me from all my troubles! The rising water has reached my neck. 2 I have nothing to stand on. I am sinking down, down into the mud. I am in deep water, and the waves are about to cover me. 3 I am getting weak from calling for help. My throat is sore. I have waited and looked for your help until my eyes are hurting. 4 I have more enemies than the hairs on my head. They hate me for no reason. They try hard to destroy me. My enemies tell lies about me. They say I stole from them and they demand that I pay for things I did not steal. 5 God, you know my faults. I cannot hide my sins from you. 6 My Lord God All-Powerful, don't let me embarrass your followers. God of Israel, don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you. 7 My face is covered with shame. I carry this shame for you. 8 My own brothers treat me like a stranger. They act as if I came from a foreign land. 9 My strong devotion to your Temple is destroying me. Those who insult you are also insulting me. 10 When I spend time crying and fasting, they make fun of me.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach,.... Being reckoned a sinner, called a deceiver, said to be a Samaritan, and to have a devil; with many other reproaches, which he bore patiently for the sake of the word and worship of God, and for the sake of the glory of God, which he all along sought; and to repair the loss of it, which was sustained through the sin of man;
shame hath covered my face; when he was spit upon by some, and smote by others with a rod upon his cheek; and when he was blindfolded, and bid to prophesy who smote him; see Isaiah 50:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach - In thy cause; in defense of thy truth; because I have professed to be a friend of God. The true reason why these calamities have come upon me is that I have been thy professed friend, and have endeavored to do my duty to thee. The reproach connected with religion in a world of sin, or where true religion is hated, has fallen on me.
Shame hath covered my face - The idea here is not that he had himself been ashamed of religion or of the service of God, but that he had suffered shame, derision, reproach among people for his professed attachment to the truth. Compare Psalms 44:15-16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 69:7. For thy sake I have borne reproach — The Gentiles have said, "Why such an obstinate attachment to the worship of a Being who treats you so rigorously, and who interests not himself in your comfort and deliverance?" And in these cuttting reproaches some of the ungodly Jews took a part: "I am an alien to my mother's children."
