1. Hoshi'eini, O Elohim; for the mayim are come unto my nefesh (i.e., neck).
2. (3) I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of the mayim, where the floods overflow me.
3. (4) I am weary of my crying out; my garon (throat) is dry; mine eyes fail while I wait for Elohai.
4. (5) They that have sinas chinom (baseless hatred) toward me are more than the hairs of mine rosh; they that would destroy me, being mine oyevim (enemies) sheker (baselessly) are mighty; then I restored that which I did not steal.
5. (6) O Elohim, Thou knowest my folly; and my ashmot (guiltinesses) are not hid from Thee.
6. (7) Let not them that wait on Thee, Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os, be ashamed because of me; let not those that seek Thee be disgraced because of me, O Elohei Yisroel.
