Psalms:109:22-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For I am poor and needy ,
And my heart is wounded within me .
*
I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens ;
I am shaken off like a locust .
*
My knees are weak through fasting ,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness .
*
I also have become a reproach to them ;
When they look at me ,
they shake their heads .
*
Help me ,
O LORD my God !
Oh ,
save me according to Your mercy ,
*
That they may know that this is Your hand --
That You ,
LORD ,
have done it !
*
Let them curse ,
but You bless ;
When they arise ,
let them be ashamed ,
But let Your servant rejoice .
*
Let my accusers be clothed with shame ,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle .
*
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth ;
Yes ,
I will praise Him among the multitude .
*
For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor ,
To save him from those who condemn him .
