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.
29. May my accusers be clothed with disgrace and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.
30. With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.
31. For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
