Psalms 38:21
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
