23. I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
24. My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
25. And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,
26. Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.
27. And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
