Psalm 109:23 in context

  1. 21But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake,
    because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
  2. 22for I am poor and needy.
    My heart is wounded within me.
  3. 23I fade away like an evening shadow.
    I am shaken off like a locust.
  4. 24My knees are weak through fasting.
    My body is thin and lacks fat.
  5. 25I have also become a reproach to them.
    When they see me, they shake their head.
