19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20 Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,And to those who speak evil against my person.
21 But You, O God the Lord,Deal with me for Your name’s sake;Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting,And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25 I also have become a reproach to them;When they look at me, they shake their heads.
