Psalm 109:20-23

Living Bible

²⁰ This is the Lord’s punishment upon my enemies who tell lies about me and threaten me with death.

²¹ But as for me, O Lord, deal with me as your child, as one who bears your name! Because you are so kind, O Lord, deliver me.

^22-23 I am slipping down the hill to death; I am shaken off from life as easily as a man brushes a grasshopper from his arm.
