20 But deal with me, O Lord my God, according to your name; ♦︎
O deliver me, for sweet is your faithfulness.
21 For I am helpless and poor ♦︎
and my heart is disquieted within me.
22 I fade like a shadow that lengthens; ♦︎
I am shaken off like a locust.
23 My knees are weak through fasting ♦︎
and my flesh is dried up and wasted.
24 I have become a reproach to them; ♦︎
those who see me shake their heads in scorn.
25 Help me, O Lord my God; ♦︎
save me for your loving mercys sake,
26 And they shall know that this is your hand, ♦︎
that you, O Lord, have done it.
27 Though they curse, may you bless; ♦︎
let those who rise up against me be confounded,
but let your servant rejoice.
28 Let my accusers be clothed with disgrace ♦︎
and wrap themselves in their shame as in a cloak.
29 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth; ♦︎
in the midst of the multitude will I praise him;
30 Because he has stood at the right hand of the needy, ♦︎
to save them from those who would condemn them.
