Context of Psalms 109:26
24My knees give way because I have been fasting. My body has become lean, without any fat. 25I have become the victim of my enemies’ insults. They look at me and shake their heads. Help me, O Lord my God. Save me because of your mercy. 27Then they will know that this is your doing, that you, O Lord, are the one who saved me. 28They may curse, but you will bless. Let those who attack me be ashamed, but let me rejoice.
