Psalm 38:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ Lord, I told you about the evil I have done.
    I am sorry for my sin.
¹⁹ But my enemies are alive and healthy,
    and they have told many lies.
²⁰ I did nothing but good,
    and they paid me back with evil.
I try to do what is right,
    but that only makes them turn against me.
