Psalms 38:20

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries ,.... See Gill on Psalm 35:12 ;

because I follow the thing that good is ; or "follow good"; a good God, whom his soul followed hard after, Psalm 63:8 ; the good Shepherd of the sheep, who led him into green pastures, whither he followed him, Psalm 23:1 ; 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.
