Psalms 25:19
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
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.
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
