19. Let cursing be his clothing,a belt he always wears.”
20. This is how the Lord rewards those who accuse me,those who say evil things against me.
21. O Lord Almighty, deal with me out of the goodness of your name.Rescue me because of your mercy.
22. I am oppressed and needy.I can feel the pain in my heart.
23. I fade away like a lengthening shadow.I have been shaken off like a grasshopper.
24. My knees give way because I have been fasting.My body has become lean, without any fat.
25. I have become the victim of my enemies’ insults.They look at me and shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Lord my God.Save me because of your mercy.
