Psalms 38:20

¹⁸ Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

¹⁹ Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

²¹ Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

²² Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
