Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 109:25 In-Context

23 I'm fading away to nothing, passing away, my youth gone, old before my time.
24 I'm weak from hunger and can hardly stand up, my body a rack of skin and bones.
25 I'm a joke in poor taste to those who see me; they take one look and shake their heads.
26 Help me, oh help me, God, my God, save me through your wonderful love;
27 Then they'll know that your hand is in this, that you, God, have been at work.
