14 The Lord counsels those who honor him;he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are always looking to the Lordbecause he will free my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, God, and have mercy on mebecause I’m alone and suffering.
17 My heart’s troubles keep getting bigger—set me free from my distress!
18 Look at my suffering and trouble—forgive all my sins!
19 Look at how many enemies I haveand how violently they hate me!
20 Please protect my life! Deliver me!Don’t let me be put to shamebecause I take refuge in you.
