Psalms 69:12-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 69
12Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me. 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!King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 69
12Those who sit at the city gate talk about me, and drunkards make up songs about me. 13But as for me, Lord, my prayer to you is for a time of favor. In your abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with your sure salvation. 14Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water. 15Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me or the deep swallow me up; don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me. 16Answer me, Lord, for your faithful love is good. In keeping with your abundant compassion, turn to me. 17Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!New Living Translation
13But I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation.
14Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters.
15Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me.
English Standard Version
