21. But Thou O Hashem Adonoi, do with me for the sake of Thy Name; because Thy chesed is tov, deliver Thou me.
22. For I am oni and evyon, and my lev is wounded within me.
23. I am gone like a lengthening tzel (shadow); I am shaken off like the arbeh.
24. My knees are weak from a tzom; and my basar faileth of fatness.
25. I became also a cherpah (reproach) unto them; when they looked upon me, they shaked their heads.
26. Help me, O Hashem Elohai; O hoshi'eini (save me) according to Thy chesed;
27. That they may know that this is Thy Yad; that Thou, Hashem, hast done it.
28. Let them make kelalah (curse), but do Thou make berakhah; when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let Thy eved rejoice.
29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own shame, as with a me'il (cloak).
30. I will greatly praise Hashem with my mouth; and, I will praise Him among the multitude.
31. For He shall stand at the yamin (right hand) of the evyon (needy), to save him from those that judge with condemnation his nefesh [cf Mt 9:10-11].
