Do not let the flood waters overwhelm me, nor the deep swallow me, nor the pit close its mouth over me.
But you, Lord, are my Lord, deal kindly with me for your name’s sake; in your great mercy rescue me.
Look upon me, have pity on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
And will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our iniquities? You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
For their sake he remembered his covenant and relented in his abundant mercy,
Those who sit in the gate gossip about me; drunkards make me the butt of songs.
For the leader. A psalm of David,
But I walk in my integrity; redeem me, be gracious to me!
The loving deeds of the Lord I will recall, the glorious acts of the Lord, Because of all the Lord has done for us, the immense goodness to the house of Israel, Which he has granted according to his mercy and his many loving deeds.
Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; human being and beast you sustain, Lord.
The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.
