Psaume 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 ) .

Psaume 109:25 In-Context

23 Je m'en vais comme l'ombre quand elle décline; je suis chassé comme la sauterelle.
24 Mes genoux chancellent par le jeûne; ma chair a perdu son embonpoint.
25 Je suis pour eux un sujet d'opprobre; en me voyant, ils hochent la tête.
26 Sois-moi en aide, Éternel mon Dieu!
27 Sauve-moi selon ta bonté, afin qu'ils sachent que c'est ta main, que c'est toi, Éternel, qui l'as fait.
