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 ) .
