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.
