Psalms 109 — Context

Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.

But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.

For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.

I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.

My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.

As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.
