Psalms

Psalm 25:16–19

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart increase;

free me from my distress.

¹⁸Consider my affliction and trouble,

and take away all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with vicious hatred.
