13 O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me.[a]
O God, because of your great loyal love,
answer me with your faithful deliverance.[b]
14 Rescue me from the mud. Don’t let me sink.
Deliver me[c] from those who hate me,
from the deep water.
15 Don’t let the current overpower me.
Don’t let the deep swallow me up.
Don’t let the Pit[d] devour me.[e]
