Psalms 69:15-18

¹⁵Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

¹⁶Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity.

¹⁷Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

¹⁸Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.
