13But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Yahweh, at a time of favor. O God, in your abundant steadfast love, answer me in the faithfulness of your salvation.

14Rescue me from the mire; do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me and from deep waters.

15Do not let the torrent of water sweep me away, and do not let the deep swallow me up, and do not let the well close its mouth over me.
