19. Let it be unto him as the garment that covers him,and a belt that he continually wears.
20. Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the Lord,and of those who speak evil against my soul.
21. But You, O God my Lord,work on my behalf for your name’s sake;because your mercy is good, deliver me.
22. For I am poor and needy,and my heart is wounded within me.
23. I am gone like a shadow in the evening;I am tossed as the locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting,and my body is thin with no fat.
25. I am a reproach to my accusers;when they look upon me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Lord my God!Save me according to Your mercy,
27. that they may know that this is by Your hand,that You, O Lord, have done it.
28. Let them curse, but You will bless;when they arise, let them be ashamed,but let Your servant rejoice.
29. Let my adversaries be clothed with shame,and let them cover themselves with their own disgrace like a cloak.
30. I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;indeed, I will praise Him among the multitude.
31. For He stands at the right hand of the poor,to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.
