For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David. Save me, God; for the waters have put my life in danger.

2 I have sunk - in mire of depth and there not [is] a foothold I have come in depths of water and a flood it has overflowed me.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand; I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over me.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

4 They are many - more than [the] hairs of head my [those who] hate me without cause they are numerous [those who] destroy me enemies my falsehood [that] which not I stole then I will return.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.

5 O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.

God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you.

6 May not they be ashamed in me - [those who] wait for you O Lord Yahweh of hosts may not they be humiliated in me [those who] seek you O God of Israel.

Let not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.

For the zeal of your house has eaten me up, and the rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on me.

When I wept and did not eat food, they insulted me.

11 And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became the object of a proverb to them.

12 They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.

Those who sit in the city gate talk about me; I am a song of drunkards.

13 And I prayer my [is] to you - O Yahweh a time of favor O God in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your answer me in [the] faithfulness of salvation your.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept; answer me in the trustworthiness of your salvation.

14 Deliver me from [the] mud and may not I sink may I be delivered from [those who] hate me and from depths of water.

Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink; let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of the deep waters.

15 May not it overflow me - a flood of water and may not it swallow up me [the] deep and may not it close over me [the] pit mouth its.

Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.
