1 Save me, O God!For the waters have come up to my throat.
2 I sink in deep mire;there is no standing place;I have come into the watery depths,and a stream overflows me.
3 I am weary of my crying;my throat is parched;my eyes failwhile I wait for my God.
4 Those who hate me without causeare more than the hairs of my head;they are mightywho would destroy me, being my wrongful enemies,so that I must pay backwhat I did not steal.
5 O God, You know my folly,and my sins are not hidden from You.
6 May those who wait on You,O Lord God of Hosts,not be ashamed because of me;may those who seek Younot be humiliated because of me,O God of Israel.
