Psalm 38:20

20 Y los que pagan mal por bien se me oponen, porque yo sigo lo bueno.

Psalm 38:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:20

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries
(See Gill on Psalms 35:12);

because I follow [the thing that] good [is];
or "follow good"; a good God, whom his soul followed hard after, ( Psalms 63:8 ) ; the good Shepherd of the sheep, who led him into green pastures, whither he followed him, ( Psalms 23:1-3 ) ; the good Spirit of God his guide, whom he walked after, ( Romans 8:1 ) ; good and holy men of God, whom he took for examples and copied after; and every good work, which he pursued with eagerness and pleasure; and all this drew upon him the hatred of his adversaries.

Psalm 38:20 In-Context

18 Confieso, pues, mi iniquidad; afligido estoy a causa de mi pecado.

19 Pero mis enemigos son vigorosos y fuertes ; muchos son los que sin causa me aborrecen.

20 Y los que pagan mal por bien se me oponen, porque yo sigo lo bueno.

21 No me abandones, oh SEÑOR; Dios mío, no estés lejos de mí.

22 Apresúrate a socorrerme, oh Señor, salvación mía.
