Psalm 69:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² They talk about me in public places.
    The beer drinkers make up songs about me.
¹³ As for me, Lord, this is my prayer to you:
    Please accept me!
God, I want you to answer me with love.
    I know I can trust you to save me.
¹⁴ Pull me from the mud,
    and don’t let me sink down deeper.
Save me from those who hate me.
    Save me from this deep water.
