12. They make fun of me in public places.The drunkards make up songs about me.
13. But I pray to you, Lord.I pray that you will accept me.God, because of your great love, answer me.You are truly able to save.
14. Pull me from the mud.Do not let me sink.Save me from those who hate meand from the deep water.
15. Do not let the flood drown me.Do not let the deep water swallow me.Do not let the grave close its mouth over me.
16. Lord, answer me because your love is so good.Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
17. Do not hide from me, your servant.I am in trouble. Hurry to help me!
