Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 109:22 In-Context

20 Das sei der Lohn meiner Widersacher von seiten Jehovas, und derer, die Böses reden wider meine Seele!

21 Du aber, Jehova, Herr, wirke für mich um deines Namens willen; weil deine Güte gut ist, errette mich!

22 Denn ich, ich bin elend und arm, und mein Herz ist verwundet in meinem Innern.

23 Wie ein Schatten, wenn er sich streckt, gehe ich dahin, werde hinweggescheucht wie die Heuschrecke.

24 Meine Knie wanken vom Fasten, und mein Fleisch ist abgemagert.
