21 But my Sovereign Lord, help me as you have promised,and rescue me because of the goodness of your love.
22 I am poor and needy;I am hurt to the depths of my heart.
23 Like an evening shadow I am about to vanish;I am blown away like an insect.
24 My knees are weak from lack of food;I am nothing but skin and bones.
25 When people see me, they laugh at me;they shake their heads in scorn.
26 Help me, O Lord my God;because of your constant love, save me!
27 Make my enemies knowthat you are the one who saves me.
