Psalms 25:17
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
