15. Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
16. Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
17. Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
18. And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
19. Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.
20. Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
21. In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
22. And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
23. Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
24. Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.
25. Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
26. Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
27. Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
28. Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.
