24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
25 And I am become a reproach unto them; when they look upon me they shake their heads.
26 Help me, Jehovah my God save me according to thy loving-kindness:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
