24 My ^aknees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. ‡

25 I also have become ^aa reproach to them;
When they look at me, ^bthey shake their heads. ‡

27 ^aThat they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, Lord, have done it! ‡

28 ^aLet them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let ^bYour servant rejoice. ‡
