What are the emotions that David and Jesus shared when the recited this psalm. (NOTE: I am assuming that David composed this psalm when Absalom drove him from Jerusalem)
Humiliation.
The appearance of utter defeat and helplessness.
Oppression of those who taunted him.
Everything pointing to hopelessness.
The threat of death.
The loss of earthly possessions.
The rejection of the people and the leaders
The anger and sorrow at the sin that lead to this situation.
Many of these expressions are still encountered when people live through similarly aweful experiences.
