19. May their curses cover them like coats. May their curses be wrapped around them like a belt forever.
20. May that be the Lord's way of paying back those who bring charges against me. May it happen to those who say evil things about me.
21. But Lord and King, be true to your name. Treat me well. Because your love is so good, save me.
22. I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded deep down inside me.
23. I fade away like an evening shadow. I'm like a locust that someone brushes off.
