16 I said, "Don't let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall. Don't let them brag when my foot slips."
17 I am about to fall. My pain never leaves me.
18 I admit that I have done wrong. I am troubled by my sin.
19 I have many powerful enemies. They are strong and healthy. They hate me without any reason.
20 They pay me back with evil, even though I was good to them. They tell lies about me because I try to do what is good.
21 Lord, don't desert me. My God, don't be far away from me.
