16 Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress;don't let them boast about my downfall!
17 I am about to falland am in constant pain.
18 I confess my sins;they fill me with anxiety.
19 My enemies are healthy and strong;there are many who hate me for no reason.
20 Those who pay back evil for goodare against me because I try to do right.
21 Do not abandon me, O Lord;do not stay away, my God!
22 Help me now, O Lord my saviour!
