16Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.
17And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
18Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.
20My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.
