16. Answer me, Lord, from the goodness of your faithful love. Out of your great kindness turn to me and help me!
17. Don’t turn away from your servant. I am in trouble, so hurry and help me!
18. Come save my soul. Rescue me from my enemies.
19. You know the shame I have suffered. You know all my enemies. You saw how they humiliated me.
20. I feel the pain of their insults. The shame makes me feel like dying! I wanted some sympathy, but there was none. I waited for someone to comfort me, but no one came.
21. They gave me poison, not food. They gave me vinegar, not wine.
