¶But You, God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; Because Your mercy is good, rescue me;
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And have fought against me without cause.
Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners
Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me for no reason wink maliciously.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?
Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me.
May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me.
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.
I called on Your name, Lord, Out of the lowest pit.
