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
I am become a stranger unto my brethren,.... Not only to the Jews in general, who were his own people and nation, to whom he came, and of whom he came; who received him not, hid as it were their faces from him, and rejected him as the Messiah; but also to such who were still nearer akin to him, according to the flesh, who did not believe in him, John 7:5; and even in some sense to his disciples and followers; some of which having heard some doctrines delivered by him not agreeable to them, withdrew from him, and walked no more with him, John 6:60; yea, to his apostles, whom he often called his brethren: one of these betrayed him, another denied him with oaths and cursing, and all of them forsook him and fled, when he was taken by his enemies, and about to suffer death;
and an alien unto my mother's children; which is the same as before, in other words. The Targum is,
"as the son of the Gentiles to my mother's children;''
that is, as an Heathen to them; see Matthew 18:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I am become a stranger unto my brethren - That is, They treat me as they would a stranger; as one in whom they have no interest, and whom they regard with no friendship. Compare the notes at Psalms 31:11.
And an alien unto my mother�s children - A foreigner; one of another tribe or nation; one to whom they were bound by no tie of relationship. The allusion in the language �unto my mother�s children� is intended to denote the most intimate relationship. In families where a man had many wives, as was common among the Hebrews, the nearest relationship would be denoted by being of the same �mother� rather than of the same �father.� See the notes at Psalms 50:20. The same thing occurs also where polygamy is not practiced, in cases where a man has married more wives than one. The idea of the psalmist here, therefore, is, that his nearest relatives treated him as if he were a stranger and a foreigner. Compare Job 19:13-19.
