Psalm 69:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ Do not let the flood drown me
    or the deep water swallow me
    or 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!
