Psalms 69:16

God's loveMercy and compassionPrayer

14 Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.

17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

18 Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
