Psalms 109:23

²¹ But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, 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.

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.
