Psalms 69:14-20

¹⁴Do not allow me to sink anymore in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!

¹⁵Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep mud to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit of death MET.

¹⁶O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.

¹⁷Do not ◄hide yourself from/refuse to hear► me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.

¹⁸Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.

¹⁹You know that I am insulted and that people cause me to feel ashamed and dishonored; you know who all my enemies are.

²⁰Their insults have deeply offended me, and I ◄feel helpless/am in despair►. I searched for someone who would pity me, but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
