22. for I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23. Like a lengthening shadow I am passing away; I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees buckle from fasting, and my body grows lean without fat.
25. And so I am a disgrace to them; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Yahweh my God; save me according to your loyal love,
27. that they may know that this is your hand, that you, O Yahweh, you have done it.
28. Let them curse, but you bless. When they arise, let them be put to shame, that your servant may be glad.
29. Let my accusers put on disgrace, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a robe.
30. I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with my mouth, and in the midst of many I will praise him,
31. for he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those judging his life.
