21. My Lord GOD, treat me in a way that brings honor to your name. Save me because of your faithful love.
22. I am only a poor, helpless man. I am so sad; my heart is broken.
23. I feel my life is over, fading like a shadow at day’s end. I feel like a bug that someone brushed away.
24. My knees are weak from fasting. I have lost weight and become thin.
25. My enemies insult me. They look at me and shake their heads.
26. Lord my God, help me! Show your faithful love and save me!
27. Then they will know that you did it. They will know that it was your power, Lord, that helped me.
