22. Free me, for I am destitute and poor, and my heart has been disquieted within me.
23. I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, and I have been shaken off like locusts.
24. My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
25. And I have become a disgrace to them. They saw me, and they shook their heads.
26. Help me, O Lord, my God. Save me according to your mercy.
27. And let them know that this is your hand, and that you, O Lord, have done this.
28. They will curse, and you will bless. May those who rise up against me be confounded. But your servant will rejoice.
