"My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil. "
— Psalms 108:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.”
But as for you, Lord, O Lord: act on my behalf for your name’s sake. For your mercy is sweet.
Free me, for I am destitute and poor, and my heart has been disquieted within me.
I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, and I have been shaken off like locusts.
My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
And I have become a disgrace to them. They saw me, and they shook their heads.
Help me, O Lord, my God. Save me according to your mercy.
And let them know that this is your hand, and that you, O Lord, have done this.
