16. Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
17. And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
18. Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!
19. You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You.
