Psalms 109:24

²² 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.

My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and 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 loving devotion.

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