Texts -- Psalms 109:24-31 (NET)

Context
109:24 I am so starved my knees shake ; I have turned into skin and bones . 109:25 I am disdained by them . When they see me, they shake their heads . 109:26 Help me, O Lord my God ! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me! 109:27 Then they will realize this is your work , and that you , Lord , have accomplished it. 109:28 They curse , but you will bless . When they attack , they will be humiliated , but your servant will rejoice . 109:29 My accusers will be covered with shame , and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe . 109:30 I will thank the Lord profusely , in the middle of a crowd I will praise him, 109:31 because he stands at the right hand of the needy , to deliver him from those who threaten his life .
