18. He wore cursing like his robe, until it filled his belly like water, and his bones like oil.
19. May it be like a cloak wrapped around him, like a belt tied around him always.
20. Let this be Adonai’s reward to my accusers, and to those who speak evil against me.
21. But You, Adonai my Lord, deal with me for Your Name’s sake. Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me.
22. For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23. I fade away like an evening shadow, shaken off like a locust.
24. My knees totter from fasting, and my flesh is lean, with no fat.
25. And I have become a taunt to them. When they see me, they wag their head.
26. Help me, Adonai my God, Save me through Your lovingkindness.
