Psalms 109:21-25

Psalms 109

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

21But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.

22For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.

23I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

24My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.

25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
