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 an evening shadow I am about to vanish; I am blown away like an insect.
24 My knees are weak from lack of food; I am nothing but skin and bones.
25 When people see me, they laugh at me; they shake their heads in scorn.
26 Help me, O Lord my God; because of your constant love, save me!
27 Make my enemies know that you are the one who saves me.
