An Interlude of Prayer

13 But I direct my prayer to you, O Lord, for a time of favor.
God, in the greatness of your mercy,
    answer me with the certainty of salvation from you.
14 Rescue me from the mud, so I do not sink.
Let me escape from those who hate me and from the deep waters.
15 Do not let the rapids rush over me.
Do not let the deep swallow me up.
Do not let the pit close its mouth over me.
