Psalm 38:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version

19 But my enemies are alive and healthy,
    and they have told many lies.
20 I did nothing but good,
    and they paid me back with evil.
I try to do what is right,
    but that only makes them turn against me.
21 Lord, don’t leave me.
    My God, stay close to me.
