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!
28. Let them curse, but you will bless!They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad!
