"I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust."
— Psalms 109:23, World English Bible
“I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.”
“I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. ”
“I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.”
“I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.”
“I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.”
This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
