An Urgent Plea for Help in Trouble
To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Psalm of David.
2 aI sink in deep mire,
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
4 Those who ahate me without a cause
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
6 Let not those who1 wait for You, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed because of me;
Let not those who seek You be1 confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
Let not those who seek You be1 confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
9 aBecause zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
bAnd the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
bAnd the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
