Psalm 109:23

World English Bible (WEB)

I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

In context

21 But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
