Act for me, O Lord my God, for your names sake :
and deliver me, as your steadfast love is good.
For I am poor and needy :
and my heart writhes within me.
I fade like a lengthening shadow :
I am shaken off like a locust.
My knees are weak from fasting :
my flesh grows lean and shrunken.
I have become the scorn of my enemies :
and when they see me, they toss their heads in derision.
Help me, O Lord my God :
and save me for your mercys sake,
That men may know it was your hand :
that you, O Lord, have done it.
Though they curse, yet give me your blessing :
and those that come against me will be put to shame,
and your servant shall rejoice.
Let those that oppose me be covered with disgrace :
let them wear their shame as a garment.
And I will give the Lord great thanks with my mouth :
and praise him in the midst of a multitude.
For the Lord will stand at the right hand of the poor :
to save him from those that would condemn him.
