1. Save me, O God,for the waters have come up to my neck.
2. I sink in the miry depths,where there is no foothold.I have come into the deep waters;the floods engulf me.
3. I am worn out calling for help;my throat is parched.My eyes fail,looking for my God.
4. Those who hate me without reasonoutnumber the hairs of my head;many are my enemies without cause,those who seek to destroy me.I am forced to restorewhat I did not steal.
5. You, God, know my folly;my guilt is not hidden from you.
