Psalms 69:21

69:21 They put bitter poison into my food,

and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.


tn According to BDB 912 s.v. II רֹאשׁ the term can mean “a bitter and poisonous plant.”

sn John 19:28-30 appears to understand Jesus’ experience on the cross as a fulfillment of this passage (or Ps 22:15). See the study note on the word “thirsty” in John 19:28.
