IN THE WORD PSALM 69:13-15But as for me, my prayer is to you,O Lord. At an acceptable time, OGod, in the abundance of yoursteadfast love answer me in yoursaving faithfulness. Deliver me

from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered frommy enemies and from the deep waters. Let not theflood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up,or the pit close its mouth over me. Answer me, OLord, for your steadfast love is good; accordingto your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not yourface from your servant; for I am in distress; makehaste to answer me.
