SCRIPTURE

"Deliver 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." — Psalms 69:14 (ASV)

Deliver me out of the mire - Out of my troubles and calamities. See (Psalms 69:1–2).

And let me not sink - As in, mire. Let me not be overwhelmed by my sorrows.

Let me be delivered from them that hate me - All my enemies. Let me be saved from their machinations and devices.

And out of the deep waters - See (Psalms 69:1–2). From my troubles.
