Psalms22:6

6. But I am a Worm and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people .

Our Fathers were Honoured by thee and by others, because of thy appearance for their defence and deliverance, but I am treated like a Worm, (i. e.) Neglected and despised, both by thee who dost not afford me Help, and by the men of my Age and Nation, as it follows. For the Phrase see Iob. 25. 6. Isa. 41. 14.

Not only of the great Men, but also of the common People. Which doth not so truly agree to David (who, though he was hated and persecuted by Saul and his Courtiers, was Honoured and Beloved by the Body of the people) as to Christ, Comp. Isa. 53. 2, 3.
