14. I’ve become like a personwho doesn’t hear what is being said,whose mouth has no good comeback.
15. But I wait for you, Lord!You will answer, my Lord, my God!
16. Because I prayed:"Don’t let them celebrate over meor exalt themselves over me when my foot slips,"
17. because I’m very close to falling,and my pain is always with me.
18. Yes, I confess my wrongdoing;I’m worried about my sin.
19. But my mortal enemies are so strong;those who hate me for no reason seem countless.
20. Those who give, repay good with evil;they oppose me for pursuing good.
