10I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
11My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.
12When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.
13I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.
14But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.
15Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.
16Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.
