10. And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; --
11. And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to 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, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:
14. Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.
15. Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
16. Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;
17. And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.
