Psalm 38:16-22
New International Version
17 For I am about to fall,(C)
and my pain(D) is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;(E)
I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies(F) without cause[a];
those who hate me(G) without reason(H) are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil(I)
lodge accusations(J) against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.

Psalm 38:16-22
King James Version
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
