16Look at me and help me!
I’m all alone and in big trouble.
17My heart and kidneys are fighting each other;
Call a truce to this civil war.
18Take a hard look at my life of hard labor,
Then lift this ton of sin.
19Do you see how many people
Have it in for me?
How viciously they hate me?
20Keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble;
Don’t let me down when I run to you.
21Use all your skill to put me together;
I wait to see your finished product.
22God, give your people a break
From this run of bad luck.

and with what violent hatred they hate me.
