20. This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
21. But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
22. For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
23. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.
25. I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
26. Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
27. That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
28. Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30. I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31. For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.
