14 Deliver me out of the mire,And let me not sink;Let me be delivered from those who hate me,And out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the floodwater overflow me,Nor let the deep swallow me up;And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant,For I am in trouble;Hear me speedily.
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;Deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;My adversaries are all before You.
20 Reproach has broken my heart,And I am full of heaviness;I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;And for comforters, but I found none.
