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!
24. Pour out your judgment on them!May your raging anger overtake them!
25. May their camp become desolate,their tents uninhabited!
26. For they harass the one whom you discipline;they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish.
27. Hold them accountable for all their sins!Do not vindicate them!
28. May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living!Do not let their names be listed with the godly!
