24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath  failed of fatness.
         
                                
                        25 And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me,  they shake their head.
         
                                
                        26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy  kindness.
         
                                
                        27 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah,  Thou hast done it.
         
                                
                        28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and  are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
         
                                
                        29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an  upper robe [is] their shame.
         
                                
                        30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst  of many I praise Him,
