Psalms 109:21-29

21But You, O God the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

22For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

23I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust.

24My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

25I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads.

26Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

27That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, Lord, have done it!

28Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice.

29Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.
