53They have silenced me in a pit,m
they have thrown a stone at me.
54Water has flown over my head,
I said, “I am cut off.”
55I have called your name, O Yahweh,
from the depths of the pit.
56You have heard my cry, “Do not shut your ear
to my cry for help, for my relief!”

They smothered my life in a pit
and threw stones on me.
Water flooded over my head,
and I thought, “I’m going to die!”

Do not ignore my cry for relief.

They threw me into a pit
and dropped stones on me.
The water rose over my head,
and I cried out, “This is the end!”

from deep within the pit.
You heard me when I cried, “Listen to my pleading!
Hear my cry for help!”

KJV 1900King James Version
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
