Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.

Out of the depths I call to you, LORD!

Out of the depths I have cried to You, Lord.

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh!

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

From the deep water I cry out to you, O LORD.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

You have sent wave upon wave of trouble over me. It roars down on me like a waterfall. All your waves and breakers have rolled over me.

They tried to end my life by throwing me into a deep pit. They threw stones down at me.The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit.

He said,“ When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord. And he answered me. When I was deep in the place of the dead, I called out for help. And you listened to my cry.You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea. I was deep down in its waters. They were all around me. All your rolling waves were sweeping over me.I said,‘ I have been driven away from you. But I will look again toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.’

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.

Save me from the trouble I’m in. It’s like slippery mud, so don’t let me sink in it. Save me from those who hate me. Save me from the deep water I’m in.Don’t let the floods cover me. Don’t let the deep water swallow me up. Don’t let the grave close its mouth over me.

Jesus prayed while he lived on earth. He made his appeal with sincere cries and tears. He prayed to the God who could save him from death. God answered Jesus because he truly honored God.

The ropes of death were wrapped around me. The horrors of the grave came over me. I was overcome by sadness and sorrow.Then I called out to the Lord. I cried out,“ Lord, save me!”

You have sent many bitter troubles my way. But you will give me new life. Even if I’m almost in the grave, you will bring me back.

I look up to the mountains. Where does my help come from?

Turn to me and help me. I am lonely and hurting.Take away the troubles of my heart. Set me free from my great pain.Look at how I’m hurting! See how much I suffer! Take away all my sins.

I was sliding down into the pit of death, and he pulled me out. He brought me up out of the mud and dirt. He set my feet on a rock. He gave me a firm place to stand on.

He reached down from heaven. He took hold of me. He lifted me out of deep waters.

Our enemies took us away from Zion. But when the Lord brought us home, it seemed like a dream to us.

If the Lord doesn’t build a house, the work of the builders is useless. If the Lord doesn’t watch over a city, it’s useless for those on guard duty to stand watch over it.

Here is what Israel should say.“ My enemies have treated me badly ever since I was a young nation.

I look up and pray to you. Your throne is in heaven.

Here is what Israel should say. Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.

Blessed are all those who have respect for the Lord. They live as he wants them to live.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last forever.

The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me. A destroying flood swept over me.The ropes of the grave were tight around me. Death set its trap in front of me.When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord. I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice. My cry for help reached his ears.

I was very glad when they said to me,“ Let us go up to the house of the Lord.”

It’s as if you have put me deep down in the grave. It’s as if you have put me in that deep, dark place.Your great anger lies heavy on me. All the waves of your anger have crashed over me.
