Psalms 69:14-20

CLV(i) 14 Rescue me from the mud, and let me not sink; Let me be rescued from those hating me, and from the depths of the waters." 15 Let not the surge of the water be engulfing me, Let not the swamp be swallowing me up, And let not the well be blocking off its mouth over me." 16 Answer me, O Yahweh, for Your benignity is good; Turn toward me according to Your many compassions." 17 Do not conceal Your face from Your servant, For distress is mine; quickly answer me." 18 Come near to my soul and redeem it; On account of my enemies, ransom me." 19 You Yourself know my reproach and my shame and my mortification; In front of You are all my foes. 20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I do feel my mortality; I expect one to sympathize, and there is none, And look for comforters, yet I find not one."
