1. God, save me.The water has risen to my neck.
2. I’m sinking down into the mud.There is nothing to stand on.I am in deep water.The flood covers me.
3. I am tired from calling for help.My throat is sore.My eyes are tired from waitingfor God to help me.
4. There are more people who hate me for no reasonthan hairs on my head.Those who want to destroy me are powerful.My enemies are liars.They make me pay backwhat I did not steal.
5. God, you know what I have done wrong.I cannot hide my guilt from you.
