Context of Psalms 109:26

24I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones. 25I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads. Help me, O Lord my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me! 27Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, Lord, have accomplished it. 28They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.
