Save me from sinking in the mud; keep me safe from my enemies, safe from the deep water.
But my Sovereign Lord, help me as you have promised, and rescue me because of the goodness of your love.
and they say evil things about me, attacking me for no reason.
Reach down from above, pull me out of the deep water, and rescue me; save me from the power of foreigners,
Don't let my enemies, those liars, gloat over my defeat. Don't let those who hate me for no reason smirk with delight over my sorrow.
I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in your presence?
Don't let the flood come over me; don't let me drown in the depths or sink into the grave.
You are good to us and forgiving, full of constant love for all who pray to you.
“From the bottom of the pit, O Lord, I cried out to you,
Those who worship worthless idols have abandoned their loyalty to you.
At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”
Now, his own people hated him, and so they sent messengers after him to say, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.’
Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them in my presence!’”
