Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ But You, O GOD, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

² For I am suffering and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

³ I am vanishing like a shadow when it lengthens and fades; I am shaken off like the locust.

⁴ My knees are unsteady from fasting; And my flesh is gaunt and without fatness.

⁵ I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others; When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision].

⁶ Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness—

⁷ And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it.

⁸ Let them curse, but You bless. When adversaries arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice.

⁹ Let my attackers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

¹⁰ I will give great praise and thanks to the LORD with my mouth; And in the midst of many I will praise Him.

¹¹ For He will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
