Psalms 109:25
I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
BSB
ASV
I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
KJV
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
I became also a reproach unto them,.... Or they reproached him; not only in life, traducing his conversation, blaspheming his miracles, calling him a Samaritan, saying he had a devil, and charging him with sedition; but at the time of his death they reviled him, and treated him in the most opprobrious manner. When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads; which was verified in the Jews as they passed by the cross of Christ, whither they came to stare upon him and scoff at him, Mat 27:39.
In all this David was a type of Christ, who in his humiliation was thus wounded, thus weakened, thus reproached; he was also a type of the church, which is often afflicted, tossed with tempests, and not comforted. He prays for mercy for himself.

because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.
Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
