Psalms 109:19 - Psalms 109:29

19 Let it be unto them as a garment which covereth them, and for a girdle wherewith they are girded continually.

20 This shall be the reward of mine adversaries, from the Lord; and of them who speak evil against my soul.

21 But do thou deliver me, O Lord my God, for thy name's sake; because thy mercy is good, therefore 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 declineth; I am tossed up and down as the locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

25 I became also a reproach unto them; when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God; oh save me according to thy mercy;

27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.

28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame; and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
