1 Save me, O God!For the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in deep mire,where there is no foothold;I have come into deep waters,and the flood sweeps over me.
3 I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dimwith waiting for my God.
4 More in number than the hairs of my headare those who hate me without cause;mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies.What I did not stealmust I now restore?
5 O God, you know my folly;the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
