Psalm 69:13-18

New American Standard Bible

¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, ^(A)at an acceptable time;
God, in the ^(B)greatness of Your mercy,
Answer me with ^[a]Your saving truth.
¹⁴ Rescue me from the ^(C)mud and do not let me sink;
May I be ^(D)rescued from those who hate me, and from the ^(E)depths of water.
¹⁵ May the ^[b](F)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the ^(G)pit close its mouth on me.

¹⁶ Answer me, Lord, for ^(H)Your mercy is good;
^(I)According to the greatness of Your compassion, ^(J)turn to me,
¹⁷ And ^(K)do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am ^(L)in distress; answer me quickly.
¹⁸ Come near to my soul and ^(M)redeem it;
^(N)Ransom me because of my enemies!
