Psalms 69:10-18

¹⁰(69-11) And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.

¹¹(69-12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.

¹²(69-13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.

¹³(69-14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.

¹⁴(69-15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵(69-16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁶(69-17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.

¹⁷(69-18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

¹⁸(69-19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
