20 May this be the reward for my accusers from the Lord,for those speaking evil against me.
21 But you, Lord, are my Lord,deal kindly with me for your name’s sake;in your great mercy rescue me.
22 For I am poor and needy;my heart is pierced within me.
23 Like a lengthening shadow I am gone,I am shaken off like the locust.
24 My knees totter from fasting;my flesh has wasted away.
25 I have become a mockery to them;when they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, Lord, my God;save me in your mercy.
