¹ Save me, God,
for the water has risen to my neck.^(A)
2 I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;
I have come into deep waters,
and a flood sweeps over me.^(B)

¹⁴ Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.
Let me be rescued from those who hate me
and from the deep waters.^(A)
15 Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me
or the deep swallow me up;
don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.^(B)

⁵⁴ Water flooded over my head,^(A)
and I thought: I’m going to die!^(B)
