1 Save me, God!I am about to drown.
2 I am sinking deep in the mud,and my feet are slipping.I am about to be swept underby a mighty flood.
3 I am worn out from crying,and my throat is dry.I have waited for youtill my eyes are blurred.
4 There are more peoplewho hate me for no reasonthan there are hairson my head.Many terrible enemieswant to destroy me, God.Am I supposed to give backsomething I didn't steal?
5 You know my foolish sins.Not one is hidden from you.
6 Lord God All-Powerful,ruler of Israel,don't let me embarrass anyonewho trusts and worships you.
7 It is for your sake alonethat I am insultedand blush with shame.
