Context of Psalms 109:26
24My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. 25I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads. Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, 27That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, Lord, have done it! 28Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-31Verses 21-31 The psalmist takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner. He was troubled in mind.
