Contextual Overview
To the director: To the tune "The Lilies." A song of David.
God, save me from all my troubles! The rising water has reached my neck. 2 I have nothing to stand on. I am sinking down, down into the mud. I am in deep water, and the waves are about to cover me. 3 I am getting weak from calling for help. My throat is sore. I have waited and looked for your help until my eyes are hurting. 4 I have more enemies than the hairs on my head. They hate me for no reason. They try hard to destroy me. My enemies tell lies about me. They say I stole from them and they demand that I pay for things I did not steal. 5 God, you know my faults. I cannot hide my sins from you. 6 My Lord God All-Powerful, don't let me embarrass your followers. God of Israel, don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you. 7 My face is covered with shame. I carry this shame for you. 8 My own brothers treat me like a stranger. They act as if I came from a foreign land. 9 My strong devotion to your Temple is destroying me. Those who insult you are also insulting me. 10 When I spend time crying and fasting, they make fun of me.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When I wept,.... Because of the sins of his people imputed to him; the hardness and unbelief of the Jews that rejected him; their impiety and profaneness in polluting the temple with their merchandise: he wept at the grave of Lazarus, and over the city of Jerusalem, on account of the blindness of its inhabitants, and the ruin coming upon them; and in his prayers at different times, especially in the garden and on the cross, which were offered up with strong crying and tears; see John 11:35;
[and chastened] my soul with fasting; or "my soul [being] in fasting" y. The Targum renders it, "in the fasting of my soul"; the word "chastened" is supplied from Psalms 35:13; and "soul" is put for the body, or for the whole person. Christ fasted forty days and nights in the wilderness; and often, through neglect of himself, and multiplicity of business, in preaching, and in healing diseases, was without food for some time: he seems to have been fasting the day that he suffered, when he made atonement for sin; and so answered the type on the day of atonement, when every man was to afflict his soul with fasting,
Leviticus 16:29; hence the Jews taunting at him gave him gall for his meat, and vinegar for his drink, Psalms 69:21; and it follows,
that was to my reproach; if he ate and drank, he was charged with being a glutton and a winebibber; and if he wept and fasted, as John his forerunner did, they reproached him with madness, and having a devil,
Matthew 11:18; and, as may be reasonably supposed, after this manner;
"can this poor creature, that weeps, and mourns, and fasts, be thought to be the Son of God, a divine Person, as he makes himself to be, and his followers believe he is?''
and so the blind Jews reason to this day.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting - The words “and chastened” are not in the original. The literal translation would be, “And I wept (away) my soul with fasting;” that is, I gave myself so much to fasting accompanied with weeping, that my strength was exhausted. This refers to his acts of devotion; to his endeavors to discipline his soul so as to lead a strictly religious life.
That was to my reproach - This may either mean that they accused him of hypocrisy and insincerity; or, that they charged him with folly for being so religious, so strict, so self-sacrificing, so serious - perhaps they would say, so superstitious, so gloomy, so fanatical. The latter best accords with the connection, since it was for his “religion” mainly that they reproached him, Psalms 69:7-9.
