53. They dropped me alive into a pit and threw stones at me.
54. Water flooded over my head, and I thought: I’m going to die!
55. I called on Your name, Yahweh,from the depths of the Pit.
56. You hear my plea:Do not ignore my cry for relief.
57. You come near when I call on You;You say: “Do not be afraid.”
58. You defend my cause, Lord; You redeem my life.
