19 Let them be like the clothes he wears,like a belt that is always around him."
20 But let all that be the reward my accusers get from the Lord, the reward for those who speak evil against me!
21 But you, Lord, my Lord!—act on my behalf for the sake of your name;deliver me because your faithful love is so good;
22 because I am poor and needy,and my heart is broken.
23 Like a lengthening shadow, I’m passing away;I’m shaken off, like some locust.
24 My legs are weak from fasting;my body is skin and bones.
25 I’ve become a joke to my accusers;when they see me, they just shake their heads.
