Psalm 69:13-20

English Standard Version

¹³ But as for me, my ^(A)prayer is to you, O Lord.
    At ^(B)an acceptable time, O God,
    in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
¹⁴ Deliver me
    from sinking in ^(C)the mire;
^(D)let me be delivered from my enemies
    and from ^(E)the deep waters.
¹⁵ Let not the flood sweep over me,
    or the deep swallow me up,
    or ^(F)the pit close ^(G)its mouth over me.

¹⁶ Answer me, O Lord, for your ^(H)steadfast love is good;
    according to your abundant ^(I)mercy, ^(J)turn to me.
^17 (K)Hide not your face from your servant,
    ^(L)for I am in distress; ^(M)make haste to answer me.
¹⁸ Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
    ransom me because of my enemies!

¹⁹ You know my ^(N)reproach,
    and my shame and my dishonor;
    my foes are all known to you.
^20 (O)Reproaches have broken my heart,
    so that I am in ^(P)despair.
I ^(Q)looked for ^(R)pity, but there was none,
    and for ^(S)comforters, but I found none.
