23. I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am shaken off like the locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh lacks fatness.
25. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
26. Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:
27. That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
