Psalms 38:21
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 not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
