Psalm 38:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

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.
²¹ Lord, don’t leave me.
    My God, stay close to me.
²² Come quickly and help me.
    My Lord, you are the one who saves me.
