22 For I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your lovingkindness;
27 That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yahweh, have done it.
28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be put to shame, But your servant shall rejoice.
