- 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.

- When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
- Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards.
- But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.
- Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
- May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
