Psalm 109:20-25

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰ May that be the reward of my accusers from the Lord,
    of those who speak evil against my life.^(A)
21 But you, O Lord my Lord,
    act on my behalf for your name’s sake;
    because your steadfast love is good, deliver me.^(B)
22 For I am poor and needy,
    and my heart is pierced within me.^(C)
23 I am gone like a shadow at evening;
    I am shaken off like a locust.^(D)
24 My knees are weak through fasting;
    my body has become gaunt.^(E)
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
    when they see me, they shake their heads.^(F)
