1Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
2I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.
2O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
3I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
3Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
4Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
5You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
5Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
6May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
6But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
7For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.
