20 May the Lord do these things to those who accuse me,to those who speak evil against me.
21 But you, Lord God,be kind to me so others will know you are good.Because your love is good, save me.
22 I am poor and helplessand very sad.
23 I am dying like an evening shadow;I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from fasting,and I have grown thin.
25 My enemies insult me;they look at me and shake their heads.
26 Lord my God, help me;because you are loving, save me.
