14 I’ve become like a personwho doesn’t hear what is being said,whose mouth has no good comeback.
15 But I wait for you, Lord!You will answer, my Lord, my God!
16 Because I prayed:"Don’t let them celebrate over meor exalt themselves over me when my foot slips,"
17 because I’m very close to falling,and my pain is always with me.
18 Yes, I confess my wrongdoing;I’m worried about my sin.
19 But my mortal enemies are so strong;those who hate me for no reason seem countless.
20 Those who give, repay good with evil;they oppose me for pursuing good.
