15Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16Answer me, O Jehovah, for good is Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
17And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
18Be near unto my soul — redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
19Thou — Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee are all mine adversaries.
20Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
21And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
22Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence — for a trap.
23Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
24Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
