1. Save me, God,because the waters have reached my neck!
2. I have sunk into deep mud.My feet can’t touch the bottom!I have entered deep water;the flood has swept me up.
3. I am tired of crying.My throat is hoarse.My eyes are exhausted with waiting for my God.
4. More numerous than the hairs on my headare those who hate me for no reason.My treacherous enemies,those who would destroy me, are countless.Must I now give backwhat I didn’t steal in the first place?
5. God, you know my foolishness;my wrongdoings aren’t hidden from you.
