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.
18. Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; 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 overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21. Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;
23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.
