- I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
- They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
- But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
- Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
- Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

- when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
- Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
- But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.
- Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.
- Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me.
