21 But take care of me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am shaken off like the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh lacks fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
