21 O sovereign Lord,intervene on my behalf for the sake of your reputation!Because your loyal love is good, deliver me!
22 For I am oppressed and needy,and my heart beats violently within me.
23 I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day;I am shaken off like a locust.
24 I am so starved my knees shake;I have turned into skin and bones.
25 I am disdained by them.When they see me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God!Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!
27 Then they will realize this is your work,and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.
