Verse 18 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.

und verbirg dein Angesicht nicht vor deinem Knechte, denn mir ist angst; erhöre mich eilend.
Acércate a mi alma, redímela: Líbrame a causa de mis enemigos.
Acércate a mi alma y redímela; rescátame a causa de mis enemigos.
Approche-toi de mon âme, délivre-la! Sauve-moi, à cause de mes ennemis!
Accostati all’anima mia, riscattala; Riscuotimi, per cagion de’ miei nemici.
Aproxima-te da minha alma, e resgata-a; livra-me por causa dos meus inimigos.
求你親近我,救贖我! 求你因我仇敵的緣故將我贖回!
