19. Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20. Let this be the Lord’s reward to my accusers,And to those who speak evil against my person.
21. But You, O God the Lord,Deal with me for Your name’s sake;Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
22. For I am poor and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.
23. I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting,And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25. I also have become a reproach to them;When they look at me, they shake their heads.
