Psalms 109:21-29

21O sovereign Lord, intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation! Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!

22For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.

23I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.

24I am so starved my knees shake; I have turned into skin and bones.

25I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.

26Help me, O Lord my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

27Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.

28They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.

29My accusers will be covered with shame, and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.
