Psalms 25:18
16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
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.
20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
