16For I have prayed, “Let them not rejoice over me; Let them not exult at the slipping of my feet!”
17For I am ready to fall, And my pain doth never leave me;
18For I confess my iniquity, And am troubled on account of my sin.
19But my enemies flourish and are strong; They who hate me without cause are multiplied.
20They who repay good with evil are my enemies, Because I follow that which is good.
21Forsake me not, O LORD! O my God! be not far from me!
Psalms 38
