i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannim. For the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of the beloved.] i0 par My heart has been stirred over a good matter; I speak of my works regarding the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Shushaneduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Syrian Naharaim and with Syrian Maachah, when Joab returned and struck twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] i0 par O God, You have cast us off, You have broken us, You were angry; bring us back.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannimeduth. A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods have overflowed me.

Rescue me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be rescued from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Do not let the flood of waters overflow me, nor let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

The cords of death have surrounded me, and the floods of the wicked made me afraid.

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me.

Also I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame consume you.

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

For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the streams surrounded me; all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

Waters encompassed me, even to my soul; the depth closed around me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

And the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

Then he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
