16 Lord, answer me because your love is so good.Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
17 Do not hide from me, your servant.I am in trouble. Hurry to help me!
18 Come near and save me;rescue me from my enemies.
19 You see my shame and disgrace.You know all my enemies and what they have said.
20 Insults have broken my heartand left me weak.I looked for sympathy, but there was none;I found no one to comfort me.
21 They put poison in my foodand gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their own feasts cause their ruin;let their feasts trap them and pay them back.
