1 Save me, OGod; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
1To the Overseer. --`On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.
2O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
2I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
3 I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for myGod.
3Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
3I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
4Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: 'Tis well, 'tis well.
4Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away--I bring back.
5 Thou, OGod, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.
5Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
5O God, Thou--Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
6 Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, OGod of Israel.
6But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
6Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
