20
This would mine adversaries effect from HaShem, and they that speak evil against my soul.
21
But Thou, O GOD the L-rd, deal with me for Thy name's sake; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.
22
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23
I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.
24
My knees totter through fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fatness.
25
I am become also a taunt unto them; when they see me, they shake their head.
26
Help me, O HaShem my G-d; O save me according to Thy mercy;
27
That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, HaShem, hast done it.
28
Let them curse, but bless Thou; when they arise, they shall be put to shame, but Thy servant shall rejoice.
29
Mine adversaries shall be clothed with confusion, and shall put on their own shame as a robe.
30
I will give great thanks unto HaShem with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude;
31
Because He standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.
