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.
27. Let them know that it is your hand,that you, Lord, have done it.
28. While they curse, may you bless;may those who attack me be put to shame,but may your servant rejoice.
