Context of Psalms 109:27

25I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn. 26Help me, Lord my God; save me according to your faithful love so 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. 29My accusers will be clothed with disgrace; they will wear their shame like a cloak.

His body was wasted, and almost worn away. But it is better to have leanness in the body, while the soul prospers and is in health, than to have leanness in the soul, while the body is feasted.
