Psalms 109:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 109:22

20 Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.

21 But You, O GOD the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

22 For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.

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,
