37:17. For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:18. For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:19. For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.
37:20. But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:21. They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
37:22. For sake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
37:23. Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
Psalms Chapter 38
Dixi custodiam.
A just man's peace and patience in his sufferings; considering the vanity of the world, and the providence of God.
