Psalm 69:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Save me from the trouble I’m in.
    It’s like slippery mud, so don’t let me sink in it.
Save me from those who hate me.
    Save me from the deep water I’m in.
¹⁵ Don’t let the floods cover me.
    Don’t let the deep water swallow me up.
    Don’t let the grave close its mouth over me.
¹⁶ Lord, answer me because your love is so good.
    Turn to me because you are so kind.
