17 Inlarg'd are troubles of my heart, me from distresse relieve,
18 See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive.
19 Consider mine enemies: for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.

They are, and also they do me with cruel hatred hate.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in thee.

Let me not be asham'd, for I do put my trust in thee.
