19 My enemies are alive and well,
    they are powerful and on the increase,
    and for no reason, they hate me.
20 When I do good, my opponents reward me with evil;
    though I pursue what is right, they stand against me.

21 Eternal One, do not leave me to their mercy;
    my True God, don’t be far from me when they are near.

19 Many have become my enemies(A) without cause[a];
    those who hate me(B) without reason(C) are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil(D)
    lodge accusations(E) against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;(F)
    do not be far(G) from me, my God.
