A Plea for Merciful Deliverance

Psalms 109:21-29

And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.

My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.

And I--I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.
