1. To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul.
2. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
