A Cry for Help

69 Save me, O God, for the waters have almost taken my life. 2 I have gone down into deep mud and there is no place to put my feet. I have come into deep waters and a flood comes over me. 3 I have cried until I am tired. My mouth is dry. My eyes become weak while I wait for my God.

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

1 Save me, O God,
    for the waters(A) have come up to my neck.(B)

    where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
