17. For I am ready to fall,And my sorrow is continually before me.
18. For I will declare my iniquity;I will be in anguish over my sin.
19. But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong;And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
20. Those also who render evil for good,They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
21. Do not forsake me, O Lord;O my God, be not far from me!
22. Make haste to help me,O Lord, my salvation!
