21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. |
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. |
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. |
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. |
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. |
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: |
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. |
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. |
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. |
