Deliverme from the mireand do not let me sink;May I be deliveredfrom my foesand from the deepwaters.
But You, O GOD,the Lord,deal[kindly] with me for Your name'ssake;BecauseYour lovingkindnessis good,deliverme;
They have also surroundedme with wordsof hatred,And foughtagainst me withoutcause.
StretchforthYour handfrom on high;Rescueme and deliverme out of greatwaters,Out of the handof aliens
Do not let those who are wrongfullymy enemiesrejoiceover me; Nor let those who hateme withoutcausewinkmaliciously.
My soulthirstsfor God,for the livingGod;Whenshall I comeand appearbeforeGod?
Deepcallsto deepat the soundof Your waterfalls;AllYour breakersand Your waveshave rolledoverme.
May the floodof waternot overflowme Northe deepswallowme up, Northe pitshutits mouthon me.
For You, Lord,are good,and readyto forgive,And abundantin lovingkindnessto allwho callupon You.
I calledon Your name,O LORD,Out of the lowestpit.
