1 Save me, O God,

for the waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in the miry depths,

where there is no foothold.

I have come into the deep waters;

the floods engulf me.

3 I am worn out calling for help;

my throat is parched.

My eyes fail,

looking for my God.

1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:

I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried:

Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

1 Save me, O God,

for the floodwaters are up to my neck.

2 Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire;

I can’t find a foothold.

I am in deep water,

and the floods overwhelm me.

3 I am exhausted from crying for help;

my throat is parched.

My eyes are swollen with weeping,

waiting for my God to help me.

1 Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in deep mire,

Where there is no standing;

I have come into deep waters,

Where the floods overflow me.

3 I am weary with my crying;

My throat is dry;

My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

1 God, save me,

because the water has risen to my neck.

2 I’m sinking down into the mud,

and there is nothing to stand on.

I am in deep water,

and the flood covers me.

3 I am tired from calling for help;

my throat is sore.

My eyes are tired from waiting

for God to help me.

1 Save me, O God;

For the waters are come in unto my soul.

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:

I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:

Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my 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. 3 I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

1 Save me, O God! 

The water is already up to my neck! 

2 I am sinking in deep mud. 

There is nothing to stand on. 

I am in deep water. 

A flood is sweeping me away. 

3 I am exhausted from crying for help. 

My throat is hoarse. 

My eyes are strained ⸤from⸥ looking for my God. 

1 Save me, God,

for the water has risen to my neck.

2 I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;

I have come into deep waters,

and a flood sweeps over me.

3 I am weary from my crying;

my throat is parched.

My eyes fail, looking for my God.

1 Save me, O God,

for the waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in deep mire,

where there is no foothold;

I have come into deep waters,

and the flood sweeps over me.

3 I am weary with my crying;

my throat is parched.

My eyes grow dim

with waiting for my God.

1 Save me, O God,

because waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in the mud of the deep, and there is no foothold.

I have come to watery depths,

and the torrent floods over me.

3 I am weary with my calling out; my throat is parched.

My eyes are exhausted in my waiting for my God.

1 God, save me.

My troubles are like a flood.

I’m up to my neck in them.

2 I’m sinking in deep mud.

I have no firm place to stand.

I am out in deep water.

The waves roll over me.

3 I’m worn out from calling for help.

My throat is very dry.

My eyes grow tired

looking for my God.

1 Save me, O God,

For the waters have threatened my life.

2 I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold;

I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.

3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;

My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
