Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.

Answer me, O LORD, for Your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!

But I am afflicted and in pain; let Your salvation, O God, set me on high!

I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.

When the humble see it they will be glad;
You who seek God, let your hearts revive.
For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise His own people who are prisoners.
