Psalms 69:13-18

13May my prayer come to you at an acceptable time, O Lord. O God, out of the greatness of your mercy, answer me with the truth of your salvation.

14Rescue me from the mud. Do not let me sink ⌞into it⌟. I want to be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water.

15Do not let floodwaters sweep me away. Do not let the ocean swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.

16Answer me, O Lord, because your mercy is good. Out of your unlimited compassion, turn to me.

17I am in trouble, so do not hide your face from me. Answer me quickly!

18Come close, and defend my soul. Set me free because of my enemies.
