Psalm 109:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled my soul with fasting,
And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

When I wept in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.

And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.

I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and

exposure.

Therefore,

strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my

groaning all day long.

My wounds grow foul and fester
Because of my folly.

My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away,
Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

“My bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

When I wept in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.
