Context of Psalms 109:27

25I also have become a disgrace to them; When they see me, they shake their head. 26Help me, Lord my God; Save me according to Your mercy. And 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. 29May my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And may they cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

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.
