22 For I am poor and needy,

and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees give way from fasting;

my body is thin and gaunt.

25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers;

when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, Lord my God;

save me according to your unfailing love.

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: O save me according to thy mercy:

22 For I am poor and needy,

and my heart is full of pain.

23 I am fading like a shadow at dusk;

I am brushed off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting,

and I am skin and bones.

25 I am a joke to people everywhere;

when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.

26 Help me, O Lord my God!

Save me because of your unfailing love.

22 For I am poor and needy,

And my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting,

And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

25 I also have become a reproach to them;

When they look at me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God!

Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

22 I am poor and helpless

and very sad.

23 I am dying like an evening shadow;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting,

and I have grown thin.

25 My enemies insult me;

they look at me and shake their heads.

26 Lord my God, help me;

because you are loving, save 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 am become also a reproach unto them:

When they see me, they shake their head.

26 Help me, O Jehovah my God;

Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:

22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust; 24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness; 25 And I am become a reproach unto them; when they look upon me they shake their heads. 26 Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

22 I am oppressed and needy. 

I can feel the pain in my heart. 

23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow. 

I have been shaken off like a grasshopper. 

24 My knees give way because I have been fasting. 

My body has become lean, without any fat. 

25 I have become the victim of my enemies’ insults. 

They look at me and shake their heads. 

26 Help me, O Lord my God. 

Save me because of your mercy. 

22 For I am afflicted and needy;

my heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting,

and my body is emaciated.

25 I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers;

when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.

26 Help me, Lord my God;

save me according to Your faithful love

22 For I am poor and needy,

and my heart is pierced within me.

23 I am gone like a shadow at evening;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting;

my body has become gaunt.

25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers;

when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God!

Save me according to your steadfast love.

22 for I am poor and needy,

and my heart is wounded within me.

23 Like a lengthening shadow I am passing away;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees buckle from fasting,

and my body grows lean without fat.

25 And so I am a disgrace to them;

when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, O Yahweh my God;

save me according to your loyal love,

22 I am poor and needy.

My heart is wounded deep down inside me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow.

I’m like a locust that someone brushes off.

24 My knees are weak because I’ve gone without food.

My body is very thin.

25 Those who bring charges against me laugh at me.

When they see me, they shake their heads at me.

26 Lord my God, help me.

Save me because you love me.

22 For I am afflicted and needy,

And my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens;

I am shaken off like the locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting,

And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.

25 I also have become a reproach to them;

When they see me, they wag their head.

26 Help me, O Lord my God;

Save me according to Your lovingkindness.
