Psalms 38:18
16 For I said, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”
17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.
20 Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
