Psalms 109:23 in Context — Psalms 109

21 Porém tu, Senhor DEUS, me trata [bem] por causa do teu nome; por ser boa a tua misericórdia, livra-me;

22 Porque estou aflito e necessitado; e meu coração está ferido dentro de mim.

23 Eu vou como a sombra, que declina; estou sendo sacudido como um gafanhoto.

24 Meus joelhos estão fracos de [tanto] jejuar; minha carne está magra, sem gordura alguma.

25 E eu por eles sou humilhado; quando me veem, sacodem suas cabeças.
