Psalms 68:11-19

¹¹And I bowed down my soul with fasting, And that was made my reproach.

¹²And I put on sackcloth for my covering; And I became a proverb to them.

¹³They that sit in the gate talked against me, And they that drank wine sang against me.

¹⁴But I will cry to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, In the truth of thy salvation.

¹⁵Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.

¹⁶Let not the waterflood drown me, Nor let the deep swallow me up; Neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

¹⁷Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: According to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.

¹⁸And turn not away thy face from thy servant; For I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

¹⁹Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: Deliver me because of mine enemies.
