22. For I am poor and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.
23. I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;I am shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees are weak through fasting,And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25. I also have become a reproach to them;When they look at me, they shake their heads.
26. Help me, O Lord my God!Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
27. That they may know that this is Your hand—That You, Lord, have done it!
