21. But you, O Yahweh my Lord, deal with me for your name’s sake. Because your loyal love is good, deliver me,
22. for I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23. Like a lengthening shadow I am passing away; I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees buckle from fasting, and my body grows lean without fat.
25. And so I am a disgrace to them; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Yahweh my God; save me according to your loyal love,
27. that they may know that this is your hand, that you, O Yahweh, you have done it.
28. Let them curse, but you bless. When they arise, let them be put to shame, that your servant may be glad.
