16I'm asking you, Lord, please don't let my enemies gloat over me, don't let them be glad when I trip up.
17For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.
18I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.
19I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.
20They pay me back evil for good; they accuse me for the good I try to do.
21Don't give up on me, my Lord and my God, don't stay away from me.
22Hurry, come and help me, Lord my salvation.
