Verse 22 is found in chapter 109 of Psalms. Psalm 109 is a plea against an accuser who has responded to love with hostility. The psalmist presents before God a situation of false accusations, hatred, and persecution. The language of judgment is particularly intense and belongs to the genre of imprecations, in which the sufferer entrusts the fate of violent people to God. The conclusion returns to trust: God stands at the right hand of the poor to save him from those who condemn him.

Je suis malheureux et indigent, Et mon coeur est blessé au dedans de moi.
Perciocchè io sono afflitto, e povero; E il mio cuore è piagato dentro di me.
Pois estou aflito e necessitado, e o meu coração está ferido dentro de mim.
因為我困苦貧窮, 內心受傷。
