Psaume 109:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:22

For I am poor and needy
As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; see ( 2 Corinthians 8:9 ) . It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; see ( Psalms 40:17 ) .

And my heart is wounded within me;
with the sins of his people on him, with a sense of divine wrath, and when under divine desertions, especially when his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death, ( Matthew 26:38 ) ( Psalms 40:12 ) .

Psaume 109:22 In-Context

20 Tel sera, de la part de l'Éternel, le salaire de mes adversaires, et de ceux qui disent du mal contre moi.
21 Mais toi, Éternel mon Dieu, agis en ma faveur, à cause de ton nom; selon la grandeur de ta bonté, délivre-moi!
22 Car je suis affligé et misérable, et mon cœur est blessé au-dedans de moi.
23 Je m'en vais comme l'ombre quand elle décline; je suis chassé comme la sauterelle.
24 Mes genoux chancellent par le jeûne; ma chair a perdu son embonpoint.
