¹² I am the talk of those who ^(A)sit in the gate,
    and the drunkards make ^(B)songs about me.
¹³ But as for me, my ^(C)prayer is to you, O Lord.
    At ^(D)an acceptable time, O God,
    in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
¹⁴ Deliver me
    from sinking in ^(E)the mire;
^(F)let me be delivered from my enemies
    and from ^(G)the deep waters.
