1. God, save me. My troubles are like a flood. I'm up to my neck in them.
2. I'm sinking in deep mud. I have no firm place to stand. I am out in deep water. The waves roll over me.
3. I'm worn out from calling for help. My throat is very dry. My eyes grow tired looking for my God.
4. Those who hate me without any reason are more than the hairs on my head. Many people who don't have any reason to be my enemies are trying to destroy me. They force me to give back what I didn't steal.
5. God, you know how foolish I've been. My guilt is not hidden from you.
6. Lord, you are the Lord who rules over all. May those who put their hope in you not be dishonored because of me. You are the God of Israel. May those who worship you not be put to shame because of me.
