Psalm 69:17

A Plea For Rescue

¹⁶
Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is sweet and good and comforting;
According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me.
¹⁷ 
Do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
¹⁸
Draw near to my soul and redeem it;
Ransom me because of my enemies [so that they do not delight in my distress].
