Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 31:11

"Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me." — Psalms 31:11 (ASV)

The adverb rendered especially seems out of place. It is therefore better to take it as a noun, in the sense of burden, a sense etymologically probable.

“Because of all mine oppressors I have become a reproach,
And to my neighbours a burden,
And a fear to my acquaintance.”

Fled. —Literally, fluttered away like frightened birds.
