Psalms 38 — Context

I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.

But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.

They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.

Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
