40 I ^(A)waited patiently for the Lord;
    he inclined to me and ^(B)heard my cry.
² He drew me up from ^(C)the pit of destruction,
    out of ^(D)the miry bog,
and ^(E)set my feet upon a rock,
    ^(F)making my steps secure.

² I sink in deep ^(A)mire,
    where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
    and the flood ^(B)sweeps over me.

¹⁴ Deliver me
    from sinking in ^(A)the mire;
^(B)let me be delivered from my enemies
    and from ^(C)the deep waters.
¹⁵ Let not the flood sweep over me,
    or the deep swallow me up,
    or ^(D)the pit close ^(E)its mouth over me.
