Fasting was a common practice among the Israelites, as seen in various instances throughout the Old Testament, such as in the life of King David (2 Samuel 12:16) and the prophet Daniel (Daniel 9:3). It was a way to humble oneself before God, showing earnestness in prayer and supplication. The psalmist's weeping and fasting indicate a deep emotional and spiritual distress, possibly due to personal sin, national calamity, or persecution. This practice is also seen in the New Testament, where Jesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness (Matthew 4:2), highlighting its significance in spiritual discipline and preparation. but it brought me reproach Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Cost of DevotionTrue devotion to God may lead to misunderstanding and reproach from others. Believers should be prepared for this as part of their spiritual journey. Righteous Suffering Suffering for righteousness is a common theme in Scripture. It is not a sign of God's disfavor but can be a mark of true discipleship. Spiritual Disciplines Fasting and weeping are powerful spiritual disciplines that express our dependence on God and our earnestness in seeking Him. Endurance in Faith Like David, believers are called to endure reproach and remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in God's ultimate vindication. Christ as Our Example Jesus, who faced the ultimate reproach, is our model for enduring suffering with grace and faithfulness.(10) When I wept . . .--The expression I wept (or lamented) my soul with fasting is hardly intelligible, though perhaps we might say I wept out my soul with fasting. The LXX. and Psalm 35:13 suggest an emendation to "I humbled my soul with fasting." To my reproach.--Quite literally and better, a reproach to me. Those who made light of the covenant altogether, who were in heart apostates both to faith and patriotism, would naturally treat with contempt those outward signs by which an erring Israelite owned his offence and sought reconciliation.
