19. May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,like a belt that he puts on every day!
20. May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord,of those who speak evil against my life!
21. But you, O God my Lord,deal on my behalf for your name’s sake;because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!
22. For I am poor and needy,and my heart is stricken within me.
23. I am gone like a shadow at evening;I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting;my body has become gaunt, with no fat.
25. I am an object of scorn to my accusers;when they see me, they wag their heads.
26. Help me, O Lord my God!Save me according to your steadfast love!
27. Let them know that this is your hand;you, O Lord, have done it!
