16. Lord, it is for you that I wait;O Lord, my God, you respond.
17. For I have said that they would gloat over me,exult over me if I stumble.
18. I am very near to falling;my wounds are with me always.
19. I acknowledge my guiltand grieve over my sin.
20. My enemies live and grow strong,those who hate me grow numerous fraudulently,
21. Repaying me evil for good,accusing me for pursuing good.
22. Do not forsake me, O Lord;my God, be not far from me!
23. Come quickly to help me,my Lord and my salvation!
