Psalms 109:22

²⁰ May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.

²¹ But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.

For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.

²³ I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

²⁴ My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
