Let me be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the deep waters.

Nor let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.

Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.

4 (B)Hear, O our God, for we are despised; (C)turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity!
