69:14 Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!
Deliver me 1 from those who hate me,
from the deep water!
69:15 Don’t let the current overpower me!
Don’t let the deep swallow me up!
Don’t let the pit 2 devour me! 3
69:16 Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good! 4
Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!
69:17 Do not ignore 5 your servant,
for I am in trouble! Answer me right away! 6
69:18 Come near me and redeem me! 7
Because of my enemies, rescue me!
69:19 You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced;
you can see all my enemies. 8
69:20 Their insults are painful 9 and make me lose heart; 10
I look 11 for sympathy, but receive none, 12
for comforters, but find none.
