Psalm 109:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

And I -- in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.

and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;

When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.

And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
