Context of Psalms 109:26

24My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt. 25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads. Help me, Lord my God; save me according to your unfailing love. 27Let them know that it is your hand, that you, Lord, have done it. 28While they curse, may you bless; may those who attack me be put to shame, but may your servant rejoice.
