19 May they cover him like clothesand always be round him like a belt!
20 Lord, punish my enemies in that way —those who say such evil things against me!
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.
