Mazmur 109:24-25

109:24 I am so starved my knees shake; ¹ 

I have turned into skin and bones. ² 

109:25 I am disdained by them. ³ 

When they see me, they shake their heads. ⁴ 

[109:24]  ¹ tn Heb “my knees stagger from fasting.”

[109:24]  ² tn Heb “and my flesh is lean away from fatness [i.e., “lean so as not to be fat”].”

[109:25]  ³ tn Heb “as for me, I am a reproach to them.”

[109:25]  ⁴ sn They shake their heads. Apparently shaking the head was a taunting gesture. See also Job 16:4; Ps 22:7; Lam 2:15.
