Psalms 68:9-15

⁹For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

¹⁰And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.

¹¹And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

¹²They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.

¹³But I will cry to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.

¹⁴Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.

¹⁵Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
