Psalm 25:16-22

¹⁶ Turn to me, God, and have mercy on me
    because I’m alone and suffering.
¹⁷ My heart’s troubles keep getting bigger—
    set me free from my distress!
¹⁸ Look at my suffering and trouble—
    forgive all my sins!
¹⁹ Look at how many enemies I have
    and how violently they hate me!
²⁰ Please protect my life! Deliver me!
    Don’t let me be put to shame
    because I take refuge in you.

    because I hope in you.

²² Please, God, save Israel from all its troubles!
