⁷ Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

¹ To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.

² I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

¹⁶ He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

¹⁵ And he saith to me, `The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;'

³ Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

⁴ Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high `is' Jehovah,

³ For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,

¹⁷ He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

¹⁵ and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,

¹⁶ and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast forth out of his mouth;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

¹¹ Dealt treacherously hath Judah, And abomination hath been done in Israel, and in Jerusalem, For polluted hath Judah the holy thing of Jehovah, That He hath loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

¹¹ Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood,

¹⁴ Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.

¹⁵ Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

² and the seed of Israel are separated from all sons of a stranger, and stand and confess concerning their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers,
