1(70) For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4Let all that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not .
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
