12They that sit in the gate talk of me; And [I am] the song of the drunkards.
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 shallow 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.
