24. My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25. I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26. Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27. that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.
28. They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29. Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30. I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
31. For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
