53They tried to end my life
by throwing me into a deep pit.
They threw stones down at me.
54The water rose and covered my head.
I thought I was going to die.
55Lord, I called out to you.
I called out from the bottom of the pit.
56I prayed, “Please don’t close your ears
to my cry for help.”
And you heard my appeal.

and dropped stones on me.
The water rose over my head,

Hear my cry for help!”

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

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.
