Psalm 109:21-31

New King James Version

²¹ But You, O God the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
²² For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
²³ I am gone ^(A)like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.
²⁴ My ^(B)knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
²⁵ I also have become ^(C)a reproach to them;
When they look at me, ^(D)they shake their heads.

²⁶ Help me, O Lord my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
^27 (E)That they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, Lord, have done it!
^28 (F)Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let ^(G)Your servant rejoice.
^29 (H)Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

³⁰ I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;
Yes, ^(I)I will praise Him among the multitude.
³¹ For ^(J)He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those ^[a]who condemn him.
