21 But as for You, O Yahweh, O Lord, deal with me afor Your name’s sake;
Because bYour lovingkindness is good, deliver me;
22 For aI am afflicted and needy,
And my heart is bpierced within me.
23 I am passing alike a shadow when it is stretched out;
I am shaken off blike the locust.
24 My aknees are feeble from bfasting,
And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
25 As for me, I have become a areproach to them;
They see me, they bwag their head.
26 aHelp me, O Yahweh my God;
Save me according to Your lovingkindness.
27 And let them aknow that this is Your hand;
You, O Yahweh, have done it.
28 aLet them curse, but You bless;
They arise and will be put to shame,
But Your bslave shall be glad.
29 Let amy accusers be clothed with dishonor,
And let them bwrap themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
