Psalm 69:16-18

Tree of Life Version

¹⁶ Do not let floodwaters sweep over me,
nor the deep swallow me up,
nor the Pit shut its mouth over me.
¹⁷ Answer me, Adonai, for good is Your mercy.
With Your great compassion, turn to me.
¹⁸ Hide not Your face from Your servant.
For I am in distress—answer me quickly.
