i1 [To the chief Musician. Altaschith. Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] i0 par Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those who rise up against me.

i1 [A Song of Ascents.] i0 par Out of the depths have I cried out to You, O Jehovah;

Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.
