American Standard Version

Psalm 69:10-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

11. When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.

12. They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.

13. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

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 shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
