1. Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life.
2. I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
3. I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4. Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
5. O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You.
