24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25. I am become also a reproach unto them: when they see me, they shake their head.
26. Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to thy mercy:
27. That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
28. Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, they shall be ashamed, but thy servant shall rejoice.
29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonour, and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a mantle.
30. I will give great thanks unto the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31. For he shall stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.
