Psalms 109:26

THE MESSAGE

Help me, oh help me, God , my God, save me through your wonderful love; Then they'll know that your hand is in this, that you, God , have been at work. Let them curse all they want; you do the blessing. Let them be jeered by the crowd when they stand up, followed by cheers for me, your servant. Dress my accusers in clothes dirty with shame, discarded and humiliating old ragbag clothes.

Contextual Overview

²¹Oh, God , my Lord, step in; work a miracle for me—you can do it! Get me out of here—your love is so great!— I'm at the end of my rope, my life in ruins. I'm fading away to nothing, passing away, my youth gone, old before my time. I'm weak from hunger and can hardly stand up, my body a rack of skin and bones. I'm a joke in poor taste to those who see me; they take one look and shake their heads. ²⁶Help me, oh help me, God , my God, save me through your wonderful love; Then they'll know that your hand is in this, that you, God , have been at work. Let them curse all they want; you do the blessing. Let them be jeered by the crowd when they stand up, followed by cheers for me, your servant. Dress my accusers in clothes dirty with shame, discarded and humiliating old ragbag clothes. ³⁰My mouth's full of great praise for God , I'm singing his hallelujahs surrounded by crowds, For he's always at hand to take the side of the needy, to rescue a life from the unjust judge.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Help me, O Lord my God,.... Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was promised him, he expected it, and he had it,

Psalms 89:21.

O save me according to thy mercy; or "kindness"; as before in

Psalms 109:21 from sufferings, and out of them; from death and the grave, as he was; or his people by him, who are saved not by works of righteousness, but according to the mercy of God, Titus 3:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Help me, O Lord my God ... - Stand by me; interpose.
