2 I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. I sink in deep mire, where <i>there is</i> no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay. More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, <i>being</i> mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored <i>that</i> which I took not away. Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, those who oppose me with lies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
