54 the waters closed over my head,and I thought I was about to perish.
55 I called on your name, Lord,from the depths of the pit.
56 You heard my plea: ‘Do not close your earsto my cry for relief.’
57 You came near when I called you,and you said, ‘Do not fear.’
58 You, Lord, took up my case;you redeemed my life.
59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me.Uphold my cause!
60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance,all their plots against me.
