15Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16Answer me, Adonai , for your cheshed ·loving-kindness· is good. According to the multitude of your tender racham · merciful love·, turn to me.
17Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
18Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
