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
1 tn Heb “my knees stagger from fasting.”
2 tn Heb “and my flesh is lean away from fatness [i.e., “lean so as not to be fat”].”
3 tn Heb “as for me, I am a reproach to them.”
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.
