13. But as for me, Lord,my prayer to You is for a time of favor.In Your abundant, faithful love, God,answer me with Your sure salvation.
14. Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.Let me be rescued from those who hate meand from the deep waters.
15. Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over meor the deep swallow me up;don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.
16. Answer me, Lord,for Your faithful love is good;in keeping with Your great compassion,turn to me.
17. Don’t hide Your face from Your servant,for I am in distress.Answer me quickly!
18. Draw near to me and redeem me;ransom me because of my enemies.
