22 For I am poor and needy,and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth:I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting;and my flesh faileth of 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 thy mercy:
27 that they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou:when they arise, let them be ashamed;but let thy servant rejoice.
