Psalms 109:25 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:25

I became also a reproach unto them
Or they reproached him; not only in life, traducing his conversation, blaspheming his miracles, calling him a Samaritan, saying he had a devil, and charging him with sedition; but at the time of his death they reviled him, and treated him in the most opprobrious manner.

When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads;
which was verified in the Jews as they passed by the cross of Christ, whither they came to stare upon him and scoff at him, ( Matthew 27:39 ) .

Psalms 109:25 In-Context

23 Like a lengthening evening shadow, I am gone; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from lack of food, my flesh wastes away for lack of nourishment.
25 I have become the object of their taunts; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, ADONAI, my God! Save me, in keeping with your grace;
27 so that they will know that this comes from your hand, that you, ADONAI, have done it.
