Save me, O God, for the water have come up to my neck I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me Fear and trembling have beset me, horror has overwhelmed me I am worn out calling for help, my throat is parched My heart is in anguish with me; the terrors of d**h a**ail me Many are my enemies without cause; those who seek to destroy me
They sharpen their tongues like swords, and aim their words like deadly arrows When they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted O Lord, how many are my foes! But You are a shield around me, O Lord; You bestow glory on me I cry aloud, and He answers me I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me
