⁴ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

² I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

² If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

⁴ Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁵ Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁴² The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
