Tehillim 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 ) .

Tehillim 109:25 In-Context

23 I am gone like a lengthening tzel (shadow); I am shaken off like the arbeh.

24 My knees are weak from a tzom; and my basar faileth of fatness.

25 I became also a cherpah (reproach) unto them; when they looked upon me, they shaked their heads.

26 Help me, O Hashem Elohai; O hoshi’eini (save me) according to Thy chesed;

27 That they may know that this is Thy Yad; that Thou, Hashem, hast done it.
