Psalm 38:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹Though I have done nothing to cause it, many people have become my enemies.
They hate me without any reason.
²⁰They pay me back with evil, even though I was good to them.
They bring charges against me, though I try only to do what is good.

²¹Lord, don’t desert me.
My God, don’t be far away from me.
