12. They make fun of me in public places,and the drunkards make up songs about me.
13. But I pray to you, Lord, for favor.God, because of your great love, answer me.You are truly able to save.
14. Pull me from the mud,and do not let me sink.Save me from those who hate meand from the deep water.
15. Do not let the flood drown meor the deep water swallow meor the grave close its mouth over me.
16. Lord, answer me because your love is so good.Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
17. Do not hide from me, your servant.I am in trouble. Hurry to help me!
18. Come near and save me;rescue me from my enemies.
