Contextual Overview

21 (108-21) But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me, 22 (108-22) For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me. 23 (108-23) I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts. 24 (108-24) My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil. 25 (108-25) And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads. 26 (108-26) Help me, O Lord my God; save me; according to thy mercy. 27 (108-27) And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it. 28 (108-28) They will curse and thou wilt bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice. 29 (108-29) Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak. 30 (108-30) I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I became also a reproach unto them,.... Or they reproached him; not only in life, traducing his conversation, blaspheming his miracles, calling him a Samaritan, saying he had a devil, and charging him with sedition; but at the time of his death they reviled him, and treated him in the most opprobrious manner.

When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads; which was verified in the Jews as they passed by the cross of Christ, whither they came to stare upon him and scoff at him, Matthew 27:39.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 109:25. When they looked upon me they soaked their heads. — Thus was David treated by Shimei, 2 Samuel 16:5-6, and our blessed Lord by the Jews, Matthew 27:39.
