¹⁵My eyes are ever towards the Lord,
   for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious to me,
   for I am lonely and afflicted.
¹⁷Relieve the troubles of my heart,
   and bring me^* out of my distress.
¹⁸Consider my affliction and my trouble,
   and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider how many are my foes,
   and with what violent hatred they hate me.
²⁰O guard my life, and deliver me;
   do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
²¹May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
   for I wait for you.
