Psalm 109:23
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
In context
21 But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.
22 For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
