Psalm 109:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

I was poured out as water, and all my bones were sundered; my heart was as wax being melted in the midst of my bowels.

And I, in their being sick, my clothing sackcloth: I humbled my soul in fasting, and my prayer shall be turned back upon my bosom.

And I will weep with fasting of my soul, and it will be for reproaches to me.

And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.

In fatigue and toil, in watchfulnesses often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Wherefore set upright the relaxed hands, and palsied knees;

If I was silent, my bones fell away in my groaning all the day.

For mine iniquities passed over my head: as a heavy lifting up they will be loaded above me.

My heart was struck and dried up as grass, that I forget eating my bread.

My bone cleaved to my skin and to my flesh, and I shall escape with the skin of my teeth.

And I will weep with fasting of my soul, and it will be for reproaches to me.
