1. Unto the end. For those who will be changed: of David.
2. Save me, O God, for the waters have entered, even to my soul.
3. I have become stuck in a deep quagmire, and there is no firm footing. I have arrived at the height of the sea, and a tempest has overwhelmed me.
4. I have endured hardships, while crying out. My jaws have become hoarse; my eyes have failed. Meanwhile, I hope in my God.
