14 Pull me from the mud,and do not let me sink.Save me from those who hate meand from the deep water.
15 Do not let the flood drown meor the deep water swallow meor the grave close its mouth over me.
16 Lord, answer me because your love is so good.Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
17 Do not hide from me, your servant.I am in trouble. Hurry to help me!
18 Come near and save me;rescue me from my enemies.
19 You see my shame and disgrace.You know all my enemies and what they have said.
20 Insults have broken my heartand left me weak.I looked for sympathy, but there was none;I found no one to comfort me.
