Context of Psalms 109:26

24My knees are weak from fasting, and I am skin and bones. 25I am a joke to people everywhere; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn. Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love. 27Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, Lord. 28Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me! When they attack me, they will be disgraced! But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!
