Psalm 69:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Draw me out of the mire,
    and do not let me plunge any deeper.
Deliver me from my enemies
    and from the deep waters.
¹⁶ Do not let the flood waters sweep over me,
    or the depths swallow me up,
    or the pit close its jaws around me.
¹⁷ Answer me, O Lord, for your kindness^[a] is wonderful;
    in your great compassion turn toward me.
