22 for I am poor and needy.My heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow.I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting.My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 I have also become a reproach to them.When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Help me, Lord, my God.Save me according to your loving kindness;
27 that they may know that this is your hand;that you, Lord, have done it.
28 They may curse, but you bless.When they arise, they will be shamed,but your servant shall rejoice.
