Psalms 69:15-21

¹⁵(69-16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁶(69-17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.

¹⁷(69-18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

¹⁸(69-19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹(69-20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.

²⁰(69-21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

²¹(69-22) Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
