10 I humble myself by fasting,and people insult me;
11 I dress myself in clothes of mourning,and they laugh at me.
12 They talk about me in the streets,and drunkards make up songs about me.
13 But as for me, I will pray to you, Lord;answer me, God, at a time you choose.Answer me because of your great love,because you keep your promise to save.
14 Save me from sinking in the mud;keep me safe from my enemies,safe from the deep water.
15 Don't let the flood come over me;don't let me drown in the depthsor sink into the grave.
16 Answer me, Lord, in the goodness of your constant love;in your great compassion turn to me!
