53 They cut off my life in the pitand cast stones on me.
54 Waters flowed over my head;I said, “I am cut off!”
55 I called on Your name, O Lord,from the lowest pit.
56 You have heard my plea:“Do not close Your ear to my cry for help!”
57 You drew near on the day I called on You,and You said, “Do not fear!”
58 O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul;You have redeemed my life.
59 O Lord, You have seen the wrong done tome;judge my case.
