Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

13But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, at an acceptable time;

God, in the greatness of Your mercy,

Answer me with Your saving truth.

14Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink;

May I be rescued from those who hate me, and from the depths of water.

15May the flood of water not overflow me

Nor the deep swallow me up,

Nor the pit close its mouth on me.

16Answer me, Lord, for Your mercy is good;

According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,

17And do not hide Your face from Your servant,

For I am in distress; answer me quickly.

18Come near to my soul and redeem it;

Ransom me because of my enemies!

19You know my disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor;

All my enemies are known to You.

20Disgrace has broken my heart, and I am so sick.

And I waited for sympathy, but there was none;

And for comforters, but I found none.

21They also gave me a bitter herb in my food,

And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
