Psalms 69:17
15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
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.
19 You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
