Context of Psalms 109:27

25I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads. 26Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That 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. 29Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

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.
