Psalm 109:24

English Standard Version 2016

My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat.

See the chapter Copy

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;

in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting, it became my reproach.

My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
