Plea for Mercy and Swift Deliverance

13

But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

14

Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15

Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.

16

Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.

17

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

18

Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom 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 some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.

21

They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
