24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh lacks fatness.
25. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
26. Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:
27. That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
28. Let them curse, but you bless: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
29. Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
