Psalms 37:16-22

¹⁶For I said, Lest my enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

¹⁷For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

¹⁸For I will declare my iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

¹⁹But my enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

²⁰They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.

²¹Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.

²²Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
