1. Save me, O God,for the floodwaters are up to my neck.
2. Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire;I can’t find a foothold.I am in deep water,and the floods overwhelm me.
3. I am exhausted from crying for help;my throat is parched.My eyes are swollen with weeping,waiting for my God to help me.
4. Those who hate me without causeoutnumber the hairs on my head.Many enemies try to destroy me with lies,demanding that I give back what I didn’t steal.
5. O God, you know how foolish I am;my sins cannot be hidden from you.
6. Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me,O Sovereign lord of Heaven’s Armies.Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated,O God of Israel.
