Hasidut untuk Mazmur 69:10

כִּֽי־קִנְאַ֣ת בֵּיתְךָ֣ אֲכָלָ֑תְנִי וְחֶרְפּ֥וֹת ח֝וֹרְפֶ֗יךָ נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃

Sebab kecemburuan karena rumah-Mu telah memakan habis diriku, dan cela orang-orang yang mencela Engkau telah menimpa aku.

Sefer HaMiddot

9. Through jealousy comes a weakening of strength (t.n. The commentators do not provide any citation here, so I have three things that come to mind. Psalms 37:8 read as follows: do not be jealous which will harm you. Psalms 69:10 read as follows, for the jealousy of your house has eaten me. Psalms 73:2-3 'and I almost collapsed, just about poured out my legs, because I was jealous').
