12 They talk about me in the streets,
    and drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But as for me, I will pray to you, Lord;
    answer me, God, at a time you choose.

    keep me safe from my enemies,
    safe from the deep water.

    do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
    from the deep waters.(E)
