Psalm 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your mercy answer me. With your faithful help


Psalm 69:14rescue me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters.


Psalm 69:15 Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.

Psalm 69:17 Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress, make haste to answer me.


Psalm 69:18 Draw near to me, redeem me, set me free because of my enemies!


Psalm 69:19 You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you.


Psalm 69:20 Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.


Psalm 69:21 They gave me gall for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.


Psalm 69:22 Let their own table before them become a snare; let their sacrificial feasts  be a trap.

.
