Psalms 69:13-23 New English Translation (NET)

13. O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me!O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance!

14. Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!Deliver me from those who hate me,from the deep water!

15. Don’t let the current overpower me!Don’t let the deep swallow me up!Don’t let the pit devour me!

16. Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good!Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!

17. Do not ignore your servant,for I am in trouble! Answer me right away!

18. Come near me and redeem me!Because of my enemies, rescue me!

19. You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced;you can see all my enemies.

20. Their insults are painful and make me lose heart;I look for sympathy, but receive none,for comforters, but find none.

21. They put bitter poison into my food,and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

22. May their dining table become a trap before them!May it be a snare for that group of friends!

23. May their eyes be blinded!Make them shake violently!
