16Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies.
19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
