Salmos 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 ) .

Salmos 109:22 In-Context

20 Que esas maldiciones sean el castigo del Señor
para los acusadores que hablan mal de mí.

21 Pero a mí trátame bien, Señor
Soberano,
¡por el honor de tu propia fama!
Rescátame
porque eres tan fiel y tan bueno.

22 Pues soy pobre y estoy necesitado,
y mi corazón está lleno de dolor.

23 Me desvanezco como una sombra al anochecer;
me quitan de encima como una langosta.

24 Mis rodillas están débiles de tanto ayunar
y estoy reducido a piel y huesos.
