Context of Psalms 109:26

24My knees are weak from fasting, and my body is emaciated. 25I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn. Help me, Lord my God; save me according to your faithful love 27so they may know that this is your hand and that you, Lord, have done it. 28Though they curse, you will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.
