15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away.

Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation. 18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
