Psalms 69:14-20

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.

19You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated. All my opponents are in front of you.

20Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none. I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one.
