13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:

O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,

Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:

Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,

Neither let the deep swallow me up;

And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

16Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:

According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

17And hide not thy face from thy servant;

For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:

Ransom me because of mine enemies.

19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:

Mine adversaries are all before thee.

20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:

And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;

And for comforters, but I found none.

21They gave me also gall for my food;

And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
