Psalm 109:20-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 Let this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.(A)
21 But You, Yahweh my Lord,
deal kindly with me because of Your name;(B)
deliver me because of the goodness of Your faithful love.(C)
22 For I am afflicted and needy;(D)
my heart is wounded within me.(E)
23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow;(F)
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from fasting,
and my body is emaciated.[a](G)
25 I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers;[b]
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.(H)
26 Help me, Lord my God;
save me according to Your faithful love(I)
27 so they may know that this is Your hand
and that You, Lord, have done it.(J)
