King James Version with Apocrypha
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
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.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
6But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
