Psalms 69:13-18

¹³Yet will I address my prayer to thee, O LORD! May it be in an acceptable time according to thy great goodness! Hear, O God! and afford me thy sure help!

¹⁴Save me from the mire, and let me not sink; May I be delivered from my enemies,—from the deep waters!

¹⁵Let not the water-flood overflow me; Let not the deep swallow me up, And let not the pit close her mouth upon me!

¹⁶Hear me, O LORD! since great is thy loving-kindness; According to the abundance of thy tender mercies look upon me!

¹⁷Hide not thy face from thy servant; I am greatly distressed, O make haste to mine aid!

¹⁸Draw near to me, and redeem my life; Deliver me because of my enemies!
