Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.

Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

then the raging waters would have swept us away.
