Verse 17 is found in chapter 69 of Psalms. Psalm 69 combines an extreme plea arising from persecution with a confession of zeal for God’s house. Deep waters and mud represent a situation in which the psalmist feels he is sinking without being able to escape. Suffering intensifies because enemies attack him unjustly. After asking for justice and deliverance, the prayer ends in praise and hope for Zion and for those who seek God.

Erhöre mich, HERR, denn dein Güte ist tröstlich; wende dich zu mir nach deiner großen Barmherzigkeit
Y no escondas tu rostro de tu siervo; Porque estoy angustiado; apresúrate, óyeme.
No escondas tu rostro de tu siervo, porque estoy angustiado; ¡apresúrate a responderme!
Et ne cache pas ta face à ton serviteur! Puisque je suis dans la détresse, hâte-toi de m'exaucer!
E non nascondere il tuo volto dal tuo servo; Perciocchè io son distretto; affrettati, rispondimi.
E não escondas o teu rosto do teu servo, porque estou angustiado; ouve-me depressa.
不要轉臉不顧你的僕人; 我在急難之中,求你速速應允我!
