Gill's Notes on the Bible
With hypocritical mockers in feasts,.... That is, the abjects gathered, themselves together with such; these may design Saul's courtiers, his parasites and flatterers, and who were hypocrites in religion also, and made it their business at Saul's table, and in their banquetings and revellings, to mock at David; and who were "hypocritical mockers of" or "for a piece of bread" y, as it may be rendered; the same word is used for a pastry, or cake, and for flatterers; and they used at their feasts to throw a pastry baked with honey to parasites z, for the word ××¢×× signifies a cake, or a piece of bread, 1 Kings 17:12; and the sense may be, that they mocked at David as wanting a piece of bread, and that he had brought himself to one; or else those, and they that gathered with them especially, mocked at David for the sake of a meal; or for a piece of bread; see Proverbs 28:27; and such sort of men were the enemies of Christ, the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites to God, flatterers of men, who loved feasts, and the uppermost places there, and whose god was their belly; and who were mockers of Christ, derided his doctrine, and scoffed at his person, especially when he hung upon the cross;
they gnashed upon me with their teeth; in indignation and contempt; as Stephen's enemies did on him, Acts 7:54.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With hypocritical mockers in feasts - The word rendered hypocritical here - ×× ×£ chaÌneÌph - properly means people âprofane, impious, abandoned.â It refers to such persons as are commonly found in scenes of revelry. The words rendered âmockers at feasts,â it is scarcely possible to render literally. The word translated, âmockers,â - ××¢× laÌâeÌg - means properly one who stammers, or who speaks a foreign language; then, a jester, mocker, buffoon. The word rendered âfeastsâ - ××¢×× maÌâoÌg - means âa cake of bread;â and the whole phrase would denote âcake-jesters;â âtable-buffoonsâ - those, perhaps, who act the part of jesters at the tables of the rich for the sake of good eating. âGesenius.â - The meaning is, that he was exposed to the ribaldry or jesting of that low class of people; that those with whom he had formerly been on friendly terms, and whom he had admitted to his own table, and for whom he had wept in their troubles, now drew around themselves that low and common class of parasites and buffoons for the purpose of ridiculing or deriding him.
They gnashed upon me with their teeth - The act of gnashing with the teeth is expressive of anger or wrath. See the notes at Job 16:9; compare Matthew 8:12; Matthew 13:42, Matthew 13:50; Matthew 22:13; Matthew 24:51; Matthew 25:30; Luke 13:28. The meaning here is that they connected the expressions of auger or wrath with those of derision and scorn. The one is commonly not far from the other.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 35:16. With hypocritical mockers in feasts — These verses seem to be prophetic of the treatment of Christ. They did tear me, and I knew it not. They blindfolded and buffeted him; they placed him in such circumstances as not to be able to discern who insulted him, except by a supernatural knowledge. With hypocritical mockers in feasts may also relate prophetically to our Lord's sufferings. Herod clothed him in a purple robe, put a reed in his hand for a sceptre, bowed the knee before him, and set him at naught. Here their hypocritical conduct (pretending one thing while they meant another) was manifest, and possibly; this occurred at one of Herod's feasts.
