Contextual Overview
21 But thou, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for thy name's sake; because thy steadfast love is good, deliver me! 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me. 23 I am gone, like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt. 25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads. 26 Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to thy steadfast love! 27 Let them know that this is thy hand; thou, O LORD, hast done it! 28 Let them curse, but do thou bless! Let my assailants be put to shame; may thy servant be glad! 29 May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle! 30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.

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.
