Psalms 109:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.

21 But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.

22 For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.
