​¹Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.
²I sink in deep mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps over me.
³I am weary with my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God.
⁴More in number than the hairs of my head
are those who hate me without cause;
many are those who would destroy me,
my enemies who accuse me falsely.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
⁵O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
³¹This will please the LORD more than an ox
or a bull with horns and hoofs.
³²Let the oppressed see it and be glad;
you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
³³For the LORD hears the needy,
and does not despise his own that are in bonds.
³⁴Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and everything that moves in them.
³⁵For God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah;
and his servants shall live there and possess it;
³⁶the children of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall live in it.
