from sinking in the mire;
let me be delivered from my enemies
and from the deep waters.(B)
15 Do not let the flood sweep over me
or the deep swallow me up
or the Pit close its mouth over me.(C)
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good;
according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.(D)
17 Do not hide your face from your servant,
for I am in distress—make haste to answer me.(E)
18 Draw near to me; redeem me;
set me free because of my enemies.
