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.
21Instead, they gave me food that tasted like poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22I hope/desire that the feasts MTY that they enjoy will ◄become a snare for/bring trouble to► them, and that those whom they invite to the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
