Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
1For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me.
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2Draw nigh, O God, to my help.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4Let them that say to me , Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.
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.
5Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
6But I am poor and needy; O God , help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
