Psalm 69:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Don’t let the floods cover me.
    Don’t let the deep water swallow me up.
    Don’t let the grave close its mouth over me.
¹⁶ Lord, answer me because your love is so good.
    Turn to me because you are so kind.
¹⁷ Don’t turn your face away from me.
    Answer me quickly. I’m in trouble.
