20. Let this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who speak evil against my soul.
21. But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;
22. For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
23. I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust.
24. My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
25. I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head.
26. Help me, O Lord my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness.
27. And let them know that this is Your hand; You, Lord, have done it.
