Because I needy am and poor,
and without help distrest,
And my afflicted broken heart
is wounded in my breast.
[verse 23] Like to the shadow that declines
so I away do go,
And as the locust vvith the vvind
am tossed to and fro.
[verse 24] My trembling knees are weak and faint,
because I long do fast,
The fatnesse of my flesh is gone,
I do consume and waste.
[verse 25] And I a vile reproach and scorn
by them was made to be,
And they that did upon me look
did shake their heads at me.
[verse 26] But thou, O Lord, that art my God,
save and deliver me,
According to thy mercy, Lord,
mine aid and succour be.
[verse 27] That all men may see and confesse
that this is thine own hand,
And that thou, Lord, hast this perform'd,
they all may understand▪
[verse 28] Whom they curse, do thou blesse, and when
they rise up against me,
Let them be made ashamed, but
let me rejoice in thee.

[verse 29] Let them be clothed all with shame
that enemies are to me,
Let their contention as a cloak
to them a covering be.
[verse 30] But vvith my mouth I greatly will
praise and advance the Lord,
Yea, I among the multitude
his praises will record.
[verse 31] For at the right hand of the poor
he shall stand up to save
Him from the cruel hands of those
that him condemned have.
