For the director of music. A psalm of David to the tune of “Lilies.”

69 God, save me.
    My troubles are like a flood.
    I’m up to my neck in them.
I’m sinking in deep mud.
    I have no firm place to stand.
I am out in deep water.
    The waves roll over me.

I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
