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.
27 Then they will know that your power has done this;they will know that you have done it, Lord.
