done it. For My sighs are many, and My heart is sorrowful.

But do Thou, O Lord, deliver Me, for I am poor and needy, and My heart is troubled within Me. Save
Me, O God, for the waters 13 are come in even unto My soul. I stick fast in the mire of the deep,
and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed
Me. I have labored with crying; I have cried aloud in anguish of heart. My jaws are become hoarse.
My eyes have failed, whilst I hope in My God.

But as for Me, My prayer is to Thee, O Lord, for the time of Thy good pleasure, O God. In the
multitude of Thy mercy, hear Me, in the truth of Thy salvation. 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. Let not the tempest
of water drown Me, nor the deep swallow Me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon Me.
Hear Me, O Lord, for Thy mercy is kind. Look upon Me according to the multitude of Thy tender
mercies, and turn not away Thy face from Thy Servant, for I am in trouble. Hear Me speedily; attend
to My soul, and deliver it. Save Me because of My enemies. Thou knowest My reproach, and My
confusion, and My shame.
