9:15 The nations fell 1 into the pit they had made;
their feet were caught in the net they had hidden. 2
69:2 I sink into the deep mire
where there is no solid ground; 3
I am in 4 deep water,
and the current overpowers me.
69:14 Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!
Deliver me 5 from those who hate me,
from the deep water!
