14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Answer me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
