19. May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,like a belt tied for ever round him.
20. May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,to those who speak evil of me.
21. But you, Sovereign Lord,help me for your name’s sake;out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
22. For I am poor and needy,and my heart is wounded within me.
23. I fade away like an evening shadow;I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees give way from fasting;my body is thin and gaunt.
25. I am an object of scorn to my accusers;when they see me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, Lord my God;save me according to your unfailing love.
