Psalm 38 v.18-22

********

I will my sin now declare

To you, Lord, with you it share

In my sorrow, forgive I

Ask you to do by and by

 

But my enemies are strong

Though I do after you long

They are vigorous, lively

Seeking now to trample me

 

They also that evil give

Unto me for good, I live

Following things that good be

But they taunt me constantly

 

Forsake me not, O LORD, you

My God are, I know it true

Be not far from me, help bring

LORD, you save, to you I sing
