1. God, save me,because the water has risen to my neck.
2. I’m sinking down into the mud,and there is nothing to stand on.I am in deep water,and the flood covers me.
3. I am tired from calling for help;my throat is sore.My eyes are tired from waitingfor God to help me.
4. There are more people who hate me for no reason than hairs on my head;powerful enemies want to destroy me for no reason.They make me pay backwhat I did not steal.
5. God, you know what I have done wrong;I cannot hide my guilt from you.
6. Lord God All-Powerful,do not let those who hope in you be ashamed because of me.God of Israel,do not let your worshipers be disgraced because of me.
7. For you, I carry this shame,and my face is covered with disgrace.
