Contextual Overview
21But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion. 22For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me. 23I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust. 24My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt. 25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.26Help me, O LORD my God; save me according to Your loving devotion. 27Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it. 28Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice. 29My accusers will be clothed with disgrace; they will wear their shame like a robe. 30With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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, Matthew 27:39.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I became also a reproach unto them - They reproached or reviled me as a bad man. Compare the notes at Psalms 22:6. The plural here - “unto them” - shows that there were more than one to whom the psalm had reference, though one of them was so prominent that a considerable part of the psalm might properly be spoken of him alone.
When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads - In contempt. See Psalms 22:7. Compare Matthew 27:39.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 109:25. When they looked upon me they soaked their heads. — Thus was David treated by Shimei, 2 Samuel 16:5-6, and our blessed Lord by the Jews, Matthew 27:39.
