Context of Psalms 109:26

24My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. 25I also have become a disgrace to them; When they see me, they shake their head. Help me, Lord my God; Save me according to Your mercy. 27And may they know that this is Your hand; You, Lord, have done it. 28They will curse, but You bless; When they arise, they will be ashamed, But Your servant will be glad.
