I am (C)weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My (D)eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Those who would [b]destroy me (F)are powerful, those who oppose me with lies;
(G)What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

I sink in the miry depths,(A)

I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help;(B)
    my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(C)
    looking for my God.
Those who hate me(D) without reason(E)
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(F)

I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal.
