Psalm 38:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible

19 I have many enemies and they are strong.
    They have no reason to hate me.
20 When I do good things,
    they do evil things to me in return!
I try to do what is right,
    but they turn against me.
21 Lord, please do not leave me alone.
    Do not stay far away from me, my God!
