(May those who hate the Lord cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!)

when they prayed: “Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, or else I could hide from him.

Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!
