1. Save me, God,for the water has risen to my neck.
2. I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;I have come into deep waters,and a flood sweeps over me.
3. I am weary from my crying;my throat is parched.My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4. Those who hate me without causeare more numerous than the hairs of my head;my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,are powerful. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
5. God, You know my foolishness,and my guilty acts are not hidden from You.
