Context of Psalms 109:27

25And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads. 26Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness: That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it. 28Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice. 29Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
