52 Tzaddi My enemies hunted me like a bird, without cause.
53 Tzaddi They bound up my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Tzaddi Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am dead.
55 Koph I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56 Koph Thou hast heard my voice; do not hide thine ear at my cry that I might breath.
57 Koph Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou didst say, Fear not.
58 Resh O Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
