Psalms 38:15-22

15For I am waiting for you, O Lord. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.

16I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.”

17I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain.

18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.

19I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason.

20They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good.

21Do not abandon me, O Lord. Do not stand at a distance, my God.

22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.
