Psalms 69:15-20

¹⁵Don't let the flood waters wash over me. Don't let the deep waters pull me down. Don't let the grave close over me.

¹⁶Please answer my prayers, Lord, for you are good and love me with your trustworthy love; because of your kindness, please help me.

¹⁷Don't turn away from me, your servant. Please answer me quickly because I'm in trouble.

¹⁸Come here and rescue me; set me free from my enemies.

¹⁹You—you know my shame, my disgrace, my humiliation. You see everything my enemies are doing.

²⁰Insults have broken my heart—I am so sick there is no cure. I looked for some sympathy, but there was no one! Nobody showed me any compassion.
