[a]Save me, my God,
    for the waters have risen to my neck.
I am sinking in muddy depths
    and can find no foothold.
I have fallen into deep waters,
    and the floods[b] overwhelm me.
I am exhausted from crying out;
    my throat is parched.
My eyes have been worn out
    searching for my God.
