Contextual Overview

21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake, Because your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; 22 For I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me. 23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat. 25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head. 26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your lovingkindness; 27 That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yahweh, have done it. 28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be put to shame, But your servant shall rejoice. 29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. 30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For I am poor and needy,.... As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; see 2 Corinthians 8:9. It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; see Psalms 40:17.

And my heart is wounded within me; with the sins of his people on him, with a sense of divine wrath, and when under divine desertions, especially when his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death,

Matthew 26:38.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For I am poor and needy - I am helpless and dependent. I am in a condition where I need thy gracious interposition.

And my heart is wounded within me - I am as one that is prostrated by a weapon - as if my heart had been pierced. I have no courage, no strength. I am like one who lies wounded on a battlefield.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 109:22. I am poor and needy — I am afflicted and impoverished; and my heart is wounded - my very life is sinking through distress.
