Psalms 109:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:26

Help me, O Lord my God
Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was promised him, he expected it, and he had it, ( Psalms 89:21 ) ( Isaiah 1:7 Isaiah 1:8 ) ( 49:8 ) .

O save me according to thy mercy;
or "kindness"; as before in ( Psalms 109:21 ) from sufferings, and out of them; from death and the grave, as he was; or his people by him, who are saved not by works of righteousness, but according to the mercy of God, ( Titus 3:5 ) .

Psalms 109:26 In-Context

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.

28 Let them go on cursing; but you, bless! When they attack, let them be put to shame; but let your servant rejoice.
