August 5

Sources of Sorrow—Ingratitude of the Ungodly

Scripture

KJV

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.

ESV

Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!

Psalm 38:20-21

Poem

If wounded love my bosom swell,

Deceived by those I prized too well;

He shall his pitying aid bestow,

Who felt on earth severer woe:

At once betrayed, denied, or fled,

By those who shared his daily bread.
