Psalms 69:21

69:21 They put bitter poison into my food,

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

Psalms 104:11

104:11 They provide water for all the animals in the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.


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.
