54. Water flooded over my head, and I thought: I’m going to die!
55. I called on Your name, Yahweh,from the depths of the Pit.
56. You hear my plea:Do not ignore my cry for relief.
57. You come near when I call on You;You say: “Do not be afraid.”
58. You defend my cause, Lord; You redeem my life.
59. Lord, You see the wrong done to me;judge my case.
60. You see all their malice,all their plots against me.
61. Lord, You hear their insults, all their plots against me.
62. The slander and murmuring of my opponentsattack me all day long.
63. When they sit and when they rise, look,I am mocked by their songs.
