19 As garments to him let it be, Even as his covering and array; And as a girdle on his loins, Wherewith he girded is alway.
20 From God let this be the reward, To him that is mine enemy; And of them that against my Soul Do evil speak maliciously.
21 But for thy own name sake, O Lord, Do thou in mercy deal with me, Thy mercies good, therefore, O Lord, By it let me delivered be.
22 I poor and needy am, my heart Wounded in me hath comfort lost:
23 Like the declining shadow sunk, And like the flitting Locust tossed.
