Psalm 109:27

Verse 27 of 31. The 109th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

24My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

25I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

26Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

27That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.

28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

30I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

Psalm 109:27 in the World English Bible

that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.

David, having denounced God's wrath against his enemies, here takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner, and without boasting.
