1. Save me, O God!The water is up to my neck;
2. I am sinking in deep mud,and there is no solid ground;I am out in deep water,and the waves are about to drown me.
3. I am worn out from calling for help,and my throat is aching.I have strained my eyes,looking for your help.
4. Those who hate me for no reasonare more numerous than the hairs of my head.My enemies tell lies against me;they are strong and want to kill me.They made me give back things I did not steal.
5. My sins, O God, are not hidden from you;you know how foolish I have been.
