For round about me ev'ry day, like water, they did roll; And, gathering together, they have compassed my soul.

They came round about me daily like water; They compassed me about together.

They surround me like a flood all day long; together they have closed in upon me.

They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.

They surround me all day long like water; they engulf me completely.

and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice.

and in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted.

Of death the cords and sorrows did about me compass round; The pains of hell took hold on me, I grief and trouble found.

Waters had cover'd us, our soul had sunk beneath the stream.

For dogs have compass'd me about: the wicked, that did meet In their assembly, me inclos'd; they pierc'd my hands and feet.

At the noise of thy water-spouts deep unto deep doth call; Thy breaking waves pass over me, yea, and thy billows all.
