Plea for Mercy and Swift Deliverance

Psalms 69:13-21

And I--my prayer is to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.

Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.

Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Answer me, O Jehovah, for good is Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,

And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress--haste, answer me.

Be near unto my soul--redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.

Thou--Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee are all mine adversaries.

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
