15. May the stream not overflow me;neither may the deep swallow me up,nor the pit close its mouth on me.
16. Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;turn Your face to me according to the abundance of Your tender mercies.
17. Do not hide Your face from Your servant,for I am in trouble; answer me quickly.
18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;deliver me because of my enemies.
19. You have known how I am insulted, and my shame and my dishonor;my adversaries are all before You.
20. Insults have broken my heart,and I am sick;and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;and for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me poison for my food,and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
