Psalms 109:25

Compare all

23 I am gone ^alike a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My ^aknees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

25 I also have become ^aa reproach to them;
When they look at me, ^bthey shake their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

27 ^aThat they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, Lord, have done it!

Psalms 109:25

I became also a reproach unto them - They reproached or reviled me as a bad man. Compare the notes at Psalms 22:6. The plural here - "unto them" - shows that there were more than one to whom the psalm had reference, though one of them was so prominent that a considerable part of the psalm might properly be spoken of him alone.

When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads - In contempt. See Psalms 22:7. Compare Matthew 27:39.
